Distant memories have color, or are they just faded, blurry images hidden deep within us…. And yet, black and white memory can come alive!
Οι μακρινές αναμνήσεις έχουν χρώμα, ή είναι απλώς ξεθωριασμένες, θολές εικόνες βαθιά κρυμμένες μέσα μας…. Κι όμως, η ασπρόμαυρη μνήμη μπορεί να ζωντανέψει!
What remains of the colors of our childhood? What are our memories of a blue bike, a red dress? What colors do we associate with our student years, our first loves, our adult life? How does color leave its mark on memory?
Τι μένει από τα χρώματα της παιδικής μας ηλικίας; Ποιες είναι οι αναμνήσεις μας από ένα μπλε ποδήλατο, ένα κόκκινο φόρεμα; Ποια χρώματα συνδέουμε με τα φοιτητικά μας χρόνια, τις πρώτες μας αγάπες, την ενήλικη ζωή μας; Πώς αφήνει το χρώμα το σημάδι του στη μνήμη;
The photograph of Jean Harlow, the Hollywood star of the 1930’s in its original black-and-white version, certainly evokes nostalgia and captures the atmosphere of the era, but today’s colorized image brings it to life and closer to us.
“Η δεσποινίς διευθυντής και ο Αλέκος”
στην αρχική μαυρόασπρη εκδοχή τους
σίγουρα προσφέρουν νοσταλγία και ατμόσφαιρα εποχής,
η σημερινή όμως έγχρωμη εικόνα,
τους …ζωντανεύει και τους φέρνει κοντά μας!
Colorizing an old black and white photo gives new life to old memories. The advantage of coloring is that you can see them from a new perspective. Many details can be lost in shades of gray, so color can bring out new details for you to discover.
Bring your old black and white photos to life!
Color can bring out the intensity of the eyes or the look of the subject. Portraits are especially useful for coloring because they make the subject more human to our modern eyes.
Coloring your photos can make them visually more interesting.
Black and white photos can be dark or drab, but color can be exciting! A splash of color can be visually very stimulating and bring out more details that black and white photos can hide.
Coloring your photos can give you a taste of history.
Seeing history in vivid color is a fascinating experience because it humanizes the people you see in the pictures. Suddenly, they’re not just historical figures – they’re people who had jobs and lives, wore fancy clothes.
By coloring the photo, you gain a window into that era of history.
A great gift for your family members.
Restoring and coloring old black and white photos, full of nostalgia and memories, can be the perfect gift for an older family member, as well as for yourself. Maybe your children, in this way, will get to know their ancestors better!
