42 Stunning Restored and Colorized Historic Images Bring the Past To Life!

Relating to the past can be difficult when all you have to look at are faded black and white photos that feel like they are from another planet. The mind thinks and remembers in color, meaning a color photograph is much easier to connect with than a black and white photo.

Thanks to film colorization historic photos restored to full color bring new life to history. Film colorization is a process that can be conducted digitally or by hand. Prior to the 1970s basic colorization was possible but required carefully painting color onto film stock.

The invention of the computer has completely altered the way we restore historic photos thanks to digital colorization. While the process is still time-consuming it is very much worth the hard work.

Research is conducted to match colors as closely to how they really looked as possible, but in some cases artists must guess which colors to use.

  6. The photograph with David holding the newspaper (Houston psycho killer, neither straight nor gay) KILLS. I also particularly love the one of them as gangsters riding on their getaway VW bug.

  7. Saw them at the Michigan Palace in 73 and 74 with Aerosmith and Fanny respectively. Showed up to the 74 show sometime late like midnight and drank from huge gallon bottles of wine they shared with the audience. I got to sit on the stage under Jonny Thunders. It was amazing! Too stoned to remember much else.
