The Photo Palace: French WWI images found still in camera

I couldn't figure out how to get one of the WW1 images from Anton Orlov's blog post on here (I assume he has them protected) so you will just have to deal with a recent image of me to dress up this post instead. I wanted to share this with you (see the link below) because it is just too cool to pass up.

Anton is apparently a collector of old cameras (among other things) who got a vintage camera from an estate sale and discovered images that were neatly 100 years old. You just have to check this out. It's amazing.

...and if that is not trippy enough for you, when he's not buying old cameras with 100 year old images in them Anton spends his time driving around in a rolling photography museum/darkroom/photo studio built into an old school bus called the "Photo Palace Bus" where he gives lectures and demonstrations of analog photography including darkroom techniques. and oh yeah, he takes photos too.
