Colorized Photos
Midnight Special (Colorized): 1957
Colorized from this Shorpy original. My take on the O. Winston Link Rural Retreat, VA photo. The original B&W is one of many classic photos Mr. Link shot on the Norfolk & Western Ry in its last years of steam operation. The train is the "Birmingham Special" en-route from Washington, DC via Bristol, VA in December, 1957. Southern Ry handled the train from Washington to Monroe, VA with N&W taking it to Bristol where Southern Ry resumed the operation on to Birmingham, AL. The locomotive us one of N&W's famous class J 4-8-4's. View full size.
Father Duffy (Colorized): 1937
Colorized from this Shorpy original. Since the statue was dedicated on May 2nd of 1937 I could only asume this photo is a winter time scene; a cold March or April day with blue sky and blue overcast on the entire scene. View full size.

Midnight Special (Colorized): 1957
Colorized from this Shorpy original. I decided to take the challenge of making a night time photo in colors. this photo is so powerful and cinematic that I had to hold back and not over do the coloring. I hope I got it right. View full size.
Louisville Levee (Colorized) 1905
Colorized from this Shorpy original. I was totally immersed in this one at times, fascinated by everything that is going on in this scene. I can only imagine what a wonderful sight it must have been for the boy with the bicycle. View full size.

Chiaroscuro (Colorized): 1920
Colorized from this Shorpy original. Another great find by Dave! I couldn't help wondering what added color would look like . . . and how many might object to colorizing such a fine photo. View full size.
