20 Captivating Photographs Take You Back to 1960s New York City Take a trip back to 1960s New York City without figuring out that darn time machine. Photographer James Jowers wandered the streets of Manhattan in the '60s, capturing shots of strangers going about their everyday activities. Think Humans of New York, circa 1968. Jowers' collection of intimate and charming NYC images reside at the George Eastman House, a photography and film museum located in Rochester, N.Y. 1.

One of the Sifter’s personal favourites is r/ColorizedHistory. The major contributors are a mix of professional and amateur colorizers that bring historic photos to life through color. All of them are highly skilled digital artists that use a combination of historical reference material and a natural eye for colour. When we see old photos in black and white, we sometimes forget that life back then was experienced in the same vibrant colours that surround us today. Below you will find a collection of some of the highest rated colorized images to date on r/ColorizedHistory. I’ve also provide a list of some of the top contributors (in no particular order): - zuzahin aka Mads Madsen [website, facebook] – mygrapefruit aka Sanna Dullaway [website, facebook] – klassixx aka Dana Keller [facebook page] – photojacker aka Jordan J. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Perplexing Pictures from the Past Is This Berenice Abbott Shooting One of NYC's Most Iconic Photos? e everyday: Amazing Color Photographs of Daily Life in Paris in the 1950's (Photos by Peter Cornélius) Dave Jordano: Early 35mm Work from Detroit 1972 The wonderful Dave Jordano has been a long time observer of Detroit, the city where he was born and traversed with a 35mm as a student, onto a 4×5, and today uses digital capture to document the changing landscape of a city in flux. On February 3rd, I will be featuring a new project on Detroit that Dave will be exhibiting at the United Photo Industries Gallery in Brooklyn. It has been a privilege to have this week’s photographers share their early work, and as Dave comments, it can be a somewhat cathartic experience to go through your older work and recognize how connected it is to today. Dave was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1948 received his degree in photography from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit in 1974. After moving to Chicago in 1977 he established a successful freelance commercial photography studio for 30 years. Specializing in food and product photography, he shot major campaigns for national and international clients.
Chino Otsuka Photoshops Her Adult Self into Her Childhood Photos Born in Japan, Chino Otsuka spent her childhood travelling around the world and has the photographs to prove it. As an art project, Otsuka photoshopped her adult self into those childhood photos, often returning to the place where the original photograph was taken in order to give the resulting art work a genuine feel. Otsuka’s artistic, imaginative images of herself as both child and adult are endearing, because they give a visual reference to every human being’s relationship with themselves. She has called this project “Imagine Finding Me” and introduces it with the words, “If, again I have the chance to meet, there is so much I want to ask, and so much I want to tell.” The photos are appealing in that they give the impression that the artist has travelled through time to spend a few moments hanging out with herself as a child. Chino Otsuka lives in the UK and is involved in a variety of artistic pursuits. Chino Otsuka poses with her childhood self outside a shop in Paris, France.
