Color me Human


Margaret Bourke-White: African American Flood Victims Lined Up, 1937



Alfred Eisenstadt: Sailor Kiss, VJ Day, 1945


I am not always a fan of colorizing old B&W photographs. But when done well it really has the ability to humanize times and events from the past as this famous image by Margaret Bourke-White from 1937. You can see this an many other versions of the exercise at the below link. Some other goods ones too.
