    Yes I agree Shirley...she said that it takes a very long time of research to get the colours just right for each individual picture...

    Some more of people. some well known some not so much...2 pages courtesy of Austrian photographer and digital artist Mario Unger, who breathes new life into old, black and white photos with vibrant colors. From stars of the silver screen to 19th century street scenes, Unger has spent a staggering 3,000 hours carefully restoring and colorizing a vast collection of historical photos.
