This was my most challenging old photo colorization to date. I think this new one will surpass it.

Thanks! It takes a lot of work to do that. I literally need to digitally paint in all the colors and hues by hand using my computer mouse like a brush. It is like painting with a brick.

Oh yeah, the original photo is from 1953 in Detroit.
yeah wel if it gets jinxed I'm blaming you lolWell then, best wishes that it works out.
See, it wasn’t all that hard to be direct and open now was it?
Oh yeah they do. Currently, its 3 hours for me.
Only question is what does this mean for the medical stuff going on

If you believe in being jinxed by talking about something, you have bigger issues....LOL!
So you get to pick the colors?? Of course some colors like Sunoco would be known. I was guessing mid 50's, the Buick jumped out to me, not to mention the 26.9 gas price.
I'd get the impression of not much.

Yep, I have to interpret the colors based on whatever I can find for the period the photo was taken.
I have also learned to interpret colors based on their shades of gray tones by using known references like the colors of trees, wood, concrete and asphalt.
Well its neat that's all I can say. A great hobby during the winter too.
I've got A million problems...especially mental ones
haven't you figured that out yet 
yeah I'd hope not.
Yep, I'll give it a try now and can brew more closer to Farmington.

I have a sinus bug kicking my ***, so I figured some comfort food was in order.

It’s been raining buckets here all day and it’s still going. Over an inch so far and it isn’t supposed to end until late tomorrow night into Monday morning.
At least it’s warm, up close to 60* tomorrow and 47* now.
If this were snow, It would be a blizzard...and I have no interest in dealing with 2+ feet of snow.

When my oldest was in preschool, a classmate came in and said that he had a scientist infection....
