Color!

Some more fun with the past, as artist Stuart Humphryes takes some rare old photos -- shot in color via a process called autochrome -- and tidies them up to look modern. As you can see in the pics displayed on his Twitter feed, Humphryes doesn't colorize black and white pictures, he restores color in the faded autochromes. By making them look like modern shots, he highlights how we tend to see the past as fuzzy, faded or a wash of grays when it was really just as bright and colorful as today is.
