A Dapper Group On Their Way To Church, Chicago 1940

Report

I was born and raised in Bosnia, and my love for art, especially photography, led me to start my journey in Germany in 1998, where I lived for a decade. I am passionate about bringing old photos to life, as it's intriguing to see how they looked at that time in color.

To restore all the photos, I use Photoshop, which is quite time-consuming. Sometimes, I conduct research on the era of life, colors, etc., while other times I create a few different color versions and keep the one that feels best.

I like this. Sometimes a busy B&W photo can be overwhelming to look at.

In my line of work, passion, and skill are essential. At times, it can be challenging to restore a beloved photo that is badly damaged, but I always try my best, and if necessary, I get creative and recreate the missing parts to make it look seamless.

I would advise anyone pursuing photography to always take their time. A photo speaks volumes about the photographer and the subject, so it's essential to put in the necessary effort. It's also crucial not to let negative criticism discourage you, as it can make you stronger and better.

The Black and white photo was poor quality but I did the best I could.

Through my work, I not only honor the past but also preserve it for future generations. By breathing new life into old photographs, I create a connection between the past and the present and remind us of the beauty that exists in both. My art serves as a testament to the power of photography and the importance of preserving history.

Look at Dad. Somehow I just know he kept his family together.

Heartbreaking. I have trouble with the word "evacuation." The trains in Germany weren't evacuating Jews, Poles etc. either.

Same. I also have a big problem with the word "evacuation". I've honestly never heard it called that before and I was raised in TX where they still try to justify it.

I’ll say it again. Evacuation means you are helping them escape from a deadly threat. They and all other families are about to be interned. Put in a prisoner of war camp because people of Japanese heritage were deemed a threat to US security. Regardless of how long they had lived in America and even if they didn’t agree with the Japanese supporting the Axis armies.

I understand the purpose of the tags, but those tags just drive home to me how unjust the whole thing was. It reminds me of dog tags, like they were considered just animals.

Dad looks like the Japanese version of my dad. His expression just says so much.

Irony? If not, nearly all leather is dyed, including black and brown.

I am overwhelmed by the shades of blue.All of the colors are oversaturated. Clothes of the 40s and 50s were not so flamboyant. I remember couples wearing more conservative beige and light brown. The early 50s were a time of pastels and geometric shapes after the big shoulders of the 40s.
