I love restoring old photographs (that are in black and white) and bringing new life into them. The pictures I restored today are mugshots. If you didn't know, here's a definition of mugshot: a photograph of usually a person's head and especially face, specifically, a police photograph of a suspect's face or profile.

I'd like to share with you some of the vintage mugshots of celebrities that I restored. What do you think, Pandas? Tell me which one is your favorite!

If you want to see more photos restored please comment and let me know what you would like to see next.

I can see Jeremy Renner totally playing him. They have a similar visual vibe to them.

Why? Because she protested a senseless war that accomplished nothing but so many pointless deaths? You won't find a single Vietnam vet that would agree with that war, and if protesting a war and wanting peace means you're a "traitor", well then I hate to tell you, the country is full of them

Stupid statement. Any time someone protests, or marches, or stands up for human rights in any way is done "all for looks". Why? Because it gets looks, of course. It gets attention, and that's the whole point. This statement she made here was heard loud and clear by, not only other anti-war protesters, but also women. Her arrests were 100 percent unfounded, and unnecessary, and people should be angry about it. So yes, it's "all for looks"

This became a symbol for women who won't back down. She was arrested on false charges because of her protests against Vietnam. She slipped out of her handcuffs for this, sending a message that was heard throughout. It may be "a bit much" in today's standards, but not then. Then, it was a powerful message

Please, pray tell, why is she "awful"? What's awful, was her arrest, and everyone should be angry and scoff at that, not her

This was before X, so this is when he was known as Malcolm Little.

These should have a brief description of the charges. It would be MUCH more interesting!
