Saint_clark Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 Abes suit being blue has blown my mind a bit! What's the story behind that black woman sat in front of all the whites? And that picture of the monk is terrifying in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 What's the story behind that black woman sat in front of all the whites? I reckon she's asserting her right to sit in a theatre just before or after segregation was ended and is getting mocked and heckled. Colour gives a whole new feeling to the pictures - makes the events and people much closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 Thanks, remarkable photos. When I was young you could buy a box of special watercolours for using on black and white photographs to make them look like coloured ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 7 November, 2013 Share Posted 7 November, 2013 The very last photo has an interesting history and has a statue in San Diego. There was a segment on "Mysteries at the museum" just last week about it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2276366/Times-Square-kiss-Statue-famous-moment-end-World-War-II-installed-San-Diego.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic, thank you for sharing!! Audrey looks stunning in colour, but the real eye opener for me is the bomb test - seeing how clear the water actually was and how idyllic it was, amazing.

OldNick Posted 8 November, 2013 Share Posted 8 November, 2013 It's strange how a modern photo looks good in sepia but how the old photos come to life when computer generated with colour. Now that would be a great app to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 8 November, 2013 Share Posted 8 November, 2013 Thanks, remarkable photos. When I was young you could buy a box of special watercolours for using on black and white photographs to make them look like coloured ones. I remember a colourised photo of me as a baby. They made me look like a baby Coco the clown! It was REALLY bad!!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
