Colorized Historical Photographs--Better than ever!

Have you noticed this new trend of colorized historical photography? Black and white photos have always been colorized, my great-grandfather ran a Photography Studio in Erie, Pennsylvania. He would take the photos downtown and have someone tint them. This was the beginning of a trend that is still being done to this day. I am loving all the famous photos I see online that have been colorized by experts. CLICK HERE to see some great ones!
