Andy Warhol Screen Tests - Bob Dylan
Between 1964 and 1966, Andy Warhol and his assistant used a small camera to create a series of 472 short films, or 'screen tests,' of friends, celebrities, and everyday people. Warhol would load 100 feet of film, set the camera up on a tripod, walk away.
The exact date of the Bob Dylan session is unknown.

Wrong : Photographs by Asger Carlsen
Asger Carlsen in an interview with Vice:
I hate to be a party pooper, but it’s clear that the images have been doctored. Are you trying to trick people? Is it important that when people look at the images they feel like these situations could be real? I think is good for people to see things they don't believe or that gross them out. Seeing something you don't understand opens your mind up to new ways of understanding. Basically, I'm more interested in telling a good story than the truth. It’s like a lie you can get away with.

The Edison Mimeograph
Otherwise known as the "Millionaire-Maker," the Mimeograph was a low cost printing press that worked by forcing ink through a stencil onto paper. Pattened in 1876 by Thomas Edison, these were a common technology used for printing small quantities. In the late 60's, they were gradually displaced by photocopying.
These are some pretty dope looking machines but judging from the "excited" look on these people's faces, this makes us all the more thankful for modern technology.
