Fun fact: Until the 1970s, only black & white photography got respect, color was "vulgar"! These vivid pictures from a weekend exhibit caught my eye - artists who made color photos an art.
~ Wishing you a colorful week! ~
P.S. And, oh my, this also caught my eye: Leave it to the French to make a sea-worthy boat out of chocolate (see BBC news clip).

Hahaha, that chocolate boat is just surreal! Imagine it melting all over your pants while you sit in it!
oh these are lovely pictures, a perfect set for monday morning and I love the chocolate boat!
LOL ..a chocolate boat - definitely more use than a chocolate teapot but you wouldn't want to eat it after! Isn't that a waste of perfectly good choccie? :)
Beautiful pictures..
The guys on the boat looks so happy..
Beautiful
LOx
oh my goodness! that's crazy! a chocolate boat?! i wouldn't want to ride that thing in the summer!
Great pics... It's true color used to be for family snaps and b&w for art. Glad we didn't keep that artificial distinction. It's also great to see how our color palette has changed over the decades...
A chocolate boat... that idea will keep my mind busy today!

such a fun series of pics!
Never knew that about B&W versus color photography. Really interesting!
Love, love, love the boat!!!
Hmmm...I'm thinking a chocolate boat, while cool, may be a waste of perfectly good chocolate. lol
Happy Monday!
Vulgar? Quite the contrary! I just love all of these. Especially the first one. I love seeing the fashion in true color.
And that chocolate boat is amazing. Who would have thought?
Hope you're having a wonderful Monday :)
I knew I liked the french for a reason. HA!

Gorgeous!! Love the first picture! I <3 NY.
I'm glad color isn't considered vulgar anymore. You take some beautiful photographs -- I love that one of the glass in the airplane. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and leaving that sweet comment. I so adore meeting new bloggers.
chocolate boat! good... if i were stranded at sea with this, i wouldn't have to eat fish, cause i could eat chocolate!
love the vintage images!!! soooo cool!!!
I saw the title and had to read this post. Seriously, it's a small world because my friend's stepdad is the guy who made the chocolate boat! My husband stayed in the chocolatier's Paris apartment once! Crazy!
