Do you find looking at old photographs fascinating? It gives us just a taste of times past, doesn’t it? Enough to arouse our sense of curiosity, what was life really like back then?
But if we’re talking about any time preceding to the 1980s, there’s a good likelihood we’re talking about black and white photographs. So you can never quite imagine what it all looked like in person.
With the arrival of colorizing, that’s all changed. Do these colorized versions of old photos make them more real for you? Or do you prefer the originals?
