We all see historical photos in B&W and for me at least it kinda makes these people seem less real in the sense of it was another time, an era I was removed from ... but my goodness when you see these pictures colourized by an amazing young Brazilian artist named Marina Amaral.. especially those of the war, of the soldiers, of the tragic prisoners of war, it suddenly becomes so real...those people are so much more real as if these things could be happening now...and it's all the more shocking..and heartbreaking!! However they're not all Sad pictures... here's a sample of much of her work...
