Colorized by me: the Romanov children - Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexei.

Old palace at Livadia, circa 1907.

I've always been fascinated by the Romanov family albums (rescued by the Tsarina’s friend and intimate confidante, Anna Vyrubova) because they offer such a unique glimpse into their daily lives. As a digital artist/historian, these things are treasures to me.

So I keep digging and getting lost in them from time to time, hence why I’ve been sharing so many Romanov photos lately… ;)

I don't know how to deal with the fact that someone (sculptor Naoum Aronson) made a bust of Rasputin.

Also, hi. Happy Easter

Colorized by me: Dinner held on the Russian Imperial Yacht Standart during the Cowes Regatta, 1909.

Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra are sitting at the center of the left side of the table. They were hosting King Edward VII and members of the British Royal family.

"In August 1909 Nicholas and his family attended the annual Cowes Regatta. Nicholas II hosted King Edward VII and members of the British Royal family on the Russian Imperial Yacht Standart as well as being entertained on HMY Victoria and Albert III."

Dia Mundial de Conscientização do Autismo.

1. Não tem cura, não tem cara, não é uma doença.
2. É um espectro, com muitas nuances.
3. Respeito passa por inclusão e acessibilidade.

“Passei por diversos profissionais desde a infância — psicólogos e psiquiatras —, todos com diagnósticos diversos: ansiedade generalizada, síndrome do pânico, depressão. (...) Cresci me sentindo diferente. Sabia que alguma coisa estava “errada”.

Precisei tomar diversos remédios que pioravam minhas questões emocionais, crescer deslocada e esperar mais de vinte anos para que o diagnóstico correto chegasse. Era tão óbvio, e ainda assim ninguém foi capaz de juntar os pontos e perceber."
