I Made Immigrants' Dream Come True By Photoshopping Them Into Today's New York

FFS do you people have to take everything so literally? Don't you understand subtext when applied to art? My God grow up.

Flora, don't let the haters make you feel bad. Art is always provocative. If you're getting reactions you've done something so good for you. You're getting people talking.

Your Photoshop work colorizing these historic photographs is amazing! I love this series. Thank you for sharing!

Archive images were made at Ellis Island / New York of real Immigrants around the 1900's. Please read the text. Thank you! https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/orphans-592b04174383d.jpg

yes, because most of them stuck in Ellis Island.

....said the descendents of Italian immigrants about Jews, descendents of Irish immigrants about Italians, descendents of British colonists about the Irish, and every Native nation about the British colonists, who were the only ones who actually DID lose their culture and homes. It's called America. None of us are supposed to be here.

I Made Immigrants' Dream Come True By Photoshopping Them Into Today's New York

These aren't images of modern immigrants. They're historical photographs that have been colorized. When these people came to America looking for a better quality of life, most of them wound up living in slums and toiling in poverty as an exploited class of industrial workers. This is art that shows them in modern America, where even the poor have access to comparative luxuries. It's art; you have to think about it for a minute. That's how long it took me to come up with that interpretation, and I'm sure there's more symbolism to it than that, too.

It's called "art," and amazingly enough, people can have creative hobbies while also volunteering for causes they care about, working at non-profit organizations, and/or donating money to charities.

I don't see why so many people got pissed. This project is trying to send a message. Read it.

I Made Immigrants' Dream Come True By Photoshopping Them Into Today's New York

I think you have some point, but there is no need to get angry over it. Art is a way to express opinions, feelings or sending a message. She made this pictures to remind people of the tragedy of many immigrants in the past, and put them in the present to make a point. This is not bad. Though yes, going out and helping would be important. There are way to many people with messages and opinions on the internet not making a real difference.

The so called American Dream is a fantasy made up by governments and the wealthy to lure cheap labour to country where they could be exploited. There is no such thing even today. The only people living the dream are the rich. The rest of the country is low income, low pay, poorly educated, unhealthy, with no health care and no social safety net. You can certainly tell the Haves by their comments. i imagine most are Republicans whose motto is 'I got mine, and I am taking yours and screw everyone else.' trump and his crime family are a prime example

I Made Immigrants' Dream Come True By Photoshopping Them Into Today's New York

I think this is a great article. Love the pictures. I don't think people understand that you are talking about the immigrants in the picture not today's immigrants. Fortunately the attitude displayed by a lot of commentators is not held by the majority of Americans.

I Made Immigrants' Dream Come True By Photoshopping Them Into Today's New York

Yeah just like they did over 100 years ago. Typical American. Thinks everyone has to adhere to YOUR idea of your city, country. No bother looking at what immigrants bring to your country in the way of new tax payers, employers, employees, friends etc. Honestly you people take the cake for being just plain mean and selfish.

I Made Immigrants' Dream Come True By Photoshopping Them Into Today's New York

I love it, after more than one hundred years, we're available to compare different momments in human history, to create a new perspective about the past, the people within and to contrast it with ourselves and the present we're living. It's amazing how do we preserved momments while the time keeps it's course and our lives go with it.
