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.

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

That smile is one of true humor. He thinks he will always get away with his crimes.

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