The same Granger Pipe Tobacco poster on the wall is for sale on a Chicago based web site - Granger Pipe Tobacco Advertising Piece with Johnny Mize, St. Louis Cardinals. Autographed. Circa 1940's. $2000. View full size. Was this originally black and white?What a wonderful image and colorization! What did it look like before you colorized it? Very envious of your talent shown here. I am at the beginning stages of efforts to colorize the digital images I have taken of glass plate negatives. Wonder if one can accomplish nearly the same quality of colorization with a digitized glass negative image as one could with a digitized positive print? Great work!

November 1938. "San Joaquin County, Calif. Pumpkins in barnyard to feed cows of rehabil­itation client." Photo by Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.         The Dimotakis family farm in Manteca, California, was virtually self-sufficient and grew a variety of fruits: figs, apricots, peaches, loquats, dates, oranges, lemons, limes, mulberries, melons and grapes; vegetables and nuts: peas, beans, zucchini, avocados, olives, pecans, walnuts, almonds. It also included a functioning olive oil plant, dairy and aviary, and livestock, and there was an outdoor wood-burning oven for bread baking; and they kept bees for gathering honey. Most weekends there was a social gathering around food and drink that often included a goat or lamb rotating on a spit. (Source: Cathy Rundell, 2010, descendant of the Dimotakis family, owners of the farm in 1938.) LoquatsLocal Walmart was fresh out of loquats today. Was really looking for something that was a cross between apricot and mango. Oh well. Bought a bag of potato chips instead. (The Gallery, Agriculture, Dorothea Lange, Halloween)

View full size. I don't know a thing ... about the Farm Security Administration. It's hard to imagine a government agency with such a mundane handle could produce an artist like Jack Delano.

A year after this photo was taken, the steel mills of Pennsylvania would soon be working overtime for the war effort. (The Gallery, Factories, Jack Delano)

July 1939. "Sons of Negro tenant farmer go visiting on a Saturday afternoon." Granville County, North Carolina. View full size. Medium-format nitrate negative by Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration. compositiona ridiculously beautiful composition. the story this pictures tells is marvelous! I rememberIf you had a pair of mules, you couldn't ride just one because they would be stubborn and act up if you tried to ride off without their mate. That is why I suspect there are two mules in this picture. And you could get awfully sore "you know where" from riding these things too unless you had a saddle or blanket or something for a cushion. That sure is some hardscrabble land to try to make a farm out of too...I wonder what types of crops they farmed. Rocks in a RowThe intentional placement of those rocks in a row suggests they were intended to mark some kind of boundary, but of what? I've seen photos of military bases where rocks would be arranged along the walkways to the barracks. Some were even whitewashed. And rocks were often used to outline flower beds. Whatever the reason, it demonstrates some pride of place on the part of the tenant farmer. Type of cropsMost likely they grew tobacco. That's the only real cash crop that was grown in the region. Too far north for cotton and soy beans and peanuts came later. For the record, it's actually very good farm land in that area. The picture give a bad impression. I used to work in Granville Co. You wouldn't recognize the place now. Most of the farmland has gone wild and the deer are so numerous that it's almost impossible to drive at night during the rutting season. I don't want to start a political argument, but I have to scratch my head when I hear how we're "destroying the environment". You couldn't prove it by Granville Co, or much of rural North Carolina for that matter. Stunning.Stunning. (The Gallery, Horses, Landscapes, Rural America)

November 1940. Tulare County, California. "One of the homes at Mineral King cooperative farm, an old ranch of 500 acres raising cotton, alfalfa, and dairy products for cash crops. Ten families [including the Schmidts] have been established here by the Farm Security Administration in modern houses." Forerunner of the suburban ranch house that characterized so much postwar residential development. Medium format negative by Russell Lee. View full size. Mineral King Cooperative Farm story?The Mineral King Cooperative Farm photos (particularly this exterior shot of an early "ranch style' home) have piqued my interest. I poked around and found this Dorothea Lange photo of the original group of houses on the farm, which is notable because of the "rotational" placement of the houses. So - where was the farm, and what happened to it? I found a few other Lange & Lee photos from the time, but nothing else. Radio DaysLooks like they have their Long Wire Radio Antenna installed and ready to pull in their favorite programs. A QuestionIs one of those homes designated the Schmidthouse? [Their house was the reverse floorplan of this one. - Dave] Built-in Long Wire Radio AntennasMy house just outside of Washington, D.C. and build in 1938 has a long wire AM radio antenna in the attic. It is connected to what looks like a vertical 2 prong electrical socket in one wall of the living room. The socket is actually for both the antenna in the attic and a ground connection. If big console AM radios ever make a comeback, I'm ready! Of course the metal roof of the Mineral King home would rule out putting their antenna in the attic. Three still standingThree of these homes are still standing on Road 158 in Visalia, CA. Wonder which one was #4? There is an antenna above the roofThere are two poles with a horizontal wire strung between them above the house. In the center, there is a vertical lead to the house. I love the house and imagine myself listening to Mexican border blaster stations on a big Zenith radio in the living room. (The Gallery, Agriculture, Russell Lee)

I'd been wanting to colorize the Mother of All Dust Bowl Photographs, by Dorothea Lange, for some time and finally got around to doing it for a contest on Fark. View full size. Mesmerizing!This colorization is absolutely stunning and in fact, so good that I joined this site just to comment on your work. I've long been a fan of this picture (the original) and teach it every semester in my high school journalism classes. I may just have to add your picture to my line-up, if nothing else, to show the wonders of photography + editing. Thank you for sharing this. (Colorized Photos)

Sublime.Another amazing job by photojacker, an expert British colorist, excuse me, colourist. So realistic I can feel the heat and dust. Love the chicken. Thank you!The mention of chicken has made me hungry... Awesome!!Photojacker - I just discovered the love of coloring photos and i'm operating off just a couple youtube videos I've watched on doing it. Do you have any recommendations for resources to become better at it? I'm finding myself spending 4-5 hours or more a day doing this. I absolutely love it. TutorialsHi Sjohnsone, Zuzahin's piece over at Civil War Talk is a great place to start. My technique differs from his in several ways and as we converse regularly I know he's also moved on too, but I think you can get a very good result through this tutorial. Thanks. (Colorized Photos)

This is one of my favorite pictures on the site (so far). The scruffy dog and Miss Elizabeth's Mona Lisa smile really make the picture. View full size. Excellent colorizingI'm impressed by your fine attention to the smallest details and the color choices are natural. I might have chosen another color for her hair, though. But overall it's a fine addition to the Shorpy collection of colorized images. Are you doing any more? Call 911Why did you make her grapefruit black? [Maybe it was broiled. Or is it some kind of melon? - Dave] Fredric Falcon and Call 911Fredric Falcon: Thanks much! I've got a few more, but don't want to bombard the site with them all at once. My first choice to submit was my version of Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother, but someone beat me to that one. And I've never been quite happy with Miss Elizabeth's hair color, actually. Call 911 (and Dave): LOL about the grapefruit. Honestly though, I can't make that object be a grapefruit. It looks like a metal bowl to me. (ShorpyBlog, Colorized Photos)

December 1940. Alexandria, Louisiana. "Construction workers from Camp Livingston eating and hanging around new cafe by entrance of camp." Medium format negative by Marion Post Wolcott for the Farm Security Administration. View full size. Buttery softThat's a honey of a leather jacket on the handsome chap just left of center, beside the Spencer Tracy lookalike. Another Great by Marion Post WolcottThank you, Shorpy, for bringing Marion Post Wolcott to the fore for me. A few years ago I had only a vague notion of Wolcott's work -- said by a fan of many of her contemporaries, especially Dorothea Lange. But time and again you show me a new image of hers that simply knocks me out. This. What she's got in her picture taking is a synthesis of aesthetics and engagement. Her framing is inspired to best tell her story. And the guys are telling her -- us -- their story. She's in their world and has been listening to them tell their stories. She's intrepid, hungry for all that people can tell. These men. She's continuing to listen as she sets up her her shot, getting their rhythm. And, ultimately, it all comes together in the instant -- which she hears coming in the banter, coming from all the faces and bodies -- and *click* she captures their group-moment of naturalness. So much story in one telling moment. Thanks, Marion. (The Gallery, Eateries & Bars, M.P. Wolcott, Small Towns)
