两位音乐家做出的彩色胶片

从照片出发,读一段摄影史。故事和照片之间只是阅读上的联想,不代表照片的作者、相机或实际用的胶卷。

胶片

Kodachrome 的两位发明人利奥波德·曼内斯和利奥波德·戈多夫斯基,都是职业音乐家。

两人年轻时就一起做彩色摄影的实验,成为音乐家以后也没有停下。后来他们进入柯达的研究实验室,和那里的研究人员一起做出了这种彩色胶片。曼内斯此后仍以钢琴家的身份演奏和作曲。

不妨试试

找一张你喜欢的彩色照片,只看颜色:哪几种颜色最先跳出来,哪几种退在后面。

「不妨试试」是编辑设计的练习,不是史实。

FilmAnalysis · Stories behind the frame

Colour film from two musicians

Read a little photographic history. These connections suggest ways to look; they say nothing about authorship, cameras or the physical film stock.

Film

Kodachrome's two inventors, Leopold Mannes and Leopold Godowsky Jr., were professional musicians.

They had experimented with colour photography together since their youth and kept going after they became musicians. Later they joined the Kodak research laboratories and developed the film with the scientists there. Mannes went on performing and composing as a pianist.

Try this

Take a colour photograph you like and look only at its colours: which ones come forward first, and which stay back.

"Try this" is an exercise written by the editors, not history.
