Theodore Roosevelt
Might have caught this earlier, but here’s a fascinating look at iconic portraits that were originally shot in black and white that have since been colorized in Photoshop. Normally, I don’t fall for this stuff, but this is incredibly elegant I’d say. Seeing Abraham Lincoln in color just seems to make him more a little more “real”. Same goes for the others above. These guys/gals look like a bunch of color slides I found in my attic… Click through the photo tabs above to continue the loveliness…. Happy Friday – share the delight.

Abe looks like he just ‘broke wind’
Very nice colorization – love the skin tones on the first one.
I actually gave it a shot for a photoshop contets once – made a video.
