A photo found here on this site and colorized.

I "think" the original photographer was trying to make a statement about the young American Indians of their day, looking to the future and using a modern machine to do it.

The only problem is, that only one looks like he might be a native American Indian. There are three of them and only one bike so I don't think they are not going to get very far. And there were cars during the time of photography, but the white man is not parting with something like that.

At least that is what I took away from the photo.

Other than that, it is a very nice photo.

I use bright warm colors almost always, so you know the photo has been colorized. Colorization gives a surreal quality to the work. I rarely try and make the colorization process look natural. Sometimes the photo calls for nothing natural to be done at all.

I am always looking for interesting photos to colorize. They usually have to be of very strange events, things we have never seen before. We see photographs all day long, so the only photos that catch my attention are of things we "don't" see everyday.

I do a lot of "vintage" nudes and erotica. It is interesting to see and we sometimes forget that even if it was 100 years ago, we are all basically the same animals then and now.

We repeat ourselves, but we forget we have done so. We are no different today, or 100,000 years ago. Same base desires. Same wishes. Same hopes. Same murderous impulses. Same lustful wishes.

But for all of what we think of as being the "bad" parts of ourselves, all of these things have made us the most successful species "EVER" on this planet and as far as we know, in the universe. How can that be bad? View full size.
