This is the third in my Atlantic City series (and my third colorized photo). The original is here, cropped to fit my monitor: https://www.shorpy.com/node/7662.

It is amazing how time consuming colorizing photos can be. The image took somewhere between 20 and 30 hours to colorize, spread out over a week or so. View full size.

My first real attempt at colorizing a b/w photo. Many colorized postcards from that time show the masonry on the hotel looking somewhat like this. From the Shorpy image

I was able to find pics of 1911 Packards and used them for coloring reference. Dave mentioned in the comments on the original pic that the tires were in all likelihood white. I read this after completing the picture. View full size.

This is the second photo I've colorized, also of the Atlantic City boardwalk in 1905. The original is here. I've cropped the picture for display on my monitor, so the dimensions aren't identical.

I did some reading up on some of the elements of the picture. The colors I used for the Steeplechase building itself are more or less historically accurate, based on some color(ed) postcards from the era. The colors on the other side of the boardwalk are less definite - my source postcards just show a lot of yellow over there, but without much definition.

Saratoga, Excelsior, and Quevic are all types of mineral water. View full size.

Colorized photo of the innhabitants of Nethers, Virginia in front of post office. Photographer Arthur Rothstein, October, 1935. View full size.

This is my first attempt at colorizing. After admiring the work of Dennis Klassen, I had to try it. I was absolutely fascinated with the original, depicting a slice of life on the Mississippi,circa 1906. I did some research and found that the Belle of Calhoun sank and was raised three times during its life and that the Belle of the Bends sank and was raised twice. So many questions can be asked about the cargo, the destinations and the workers loading, off loading and idle. The detail of the original is absolutely stunning.

A Shorpy image. I wanted to try colorizing and making it look like a vintage pin-up style picture. View full size.

This is my first attempt at colorizing a photo. The original image is located at https://www.shorpy.com/node/8583. I had cropped and resized the photo for use as wallpaper (so the dimensions aren't identical to the original), and decided to try to add a bit of color. Not bad for a first attempt, I think.

My dad's 1946 Dodge Custom Town Sedan. Notice that the rear doors are hinged on the center post and not "suicide" doors. The Town sedan was the only Dodge with this feature. We thought this was the fanciest car we ever had. Two-tone maroon and gray velour upholstery and a speedometer that changed colors according to your speed. 50 mph and above was red. Taken in Melvindale, Michigan, in 1948. View full size.
