Colorized History

Everyone enjoyed coloring books in their youth. I loved to get creative on those books and colored them all screwed up. Some people enjoy coloring even after they grow up. They are called colonizers and utilizes a lot of reference and trained eyes to determine the original color. Some are very electrifying. Below is some of the colorized historical pictures can be found at r/ColorizedHistory.  The digital manipulation makes those pictures have vivid color as if they were taken yesterday. Almost give you the feeling of time travel.

Andrew Shaylor: Hell's Angels MC Photos

In August 2000, photographer Andrew Shaylor departed on a four-year journey documenting the UK chapters of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club. Kinda same idea as Hunter S. Thompson did in 60's but with a camera not with a pen.  The result is a remarkable collection of photographs, which were published in paperback and hard cover editions by Merrell.
