Your videos are like a vacation for me.
Thank you.
@@Asiablue Many thanks
Just stumbled on the channel. These don't seem like your garden variety colorizations. More attention to detail on several than one normally sees. Eager to enjoy all the others.
Well, damn. If someone from overseas were to watch this video, they'd be confused about the lack of Blacks who lived in America, more specifically, the New York region during this era. The pictures are amazing to glance at, but the racial disparity in your "chosen" photos is sickening and misleading. My family represented this region for hundreds of years, but hey, I guess history is a subjective entity.
@@stevenwbar6554 Thanks for your comment, but I have never chosen photos by nationality...only the best available in the historical archive...
I'm just dying over the clothes. Gorgeous. Everyone wears hats. Now we just wear leggings, jeans, t shirts....we are slobs.
I know where did it all go wrong
I know what you mean, it's all very elegant, but if I have to be honest, I'd rather be comfortable. All the "accoutrements" would have been uncomfortable if not torturous. The girdles, garter belts, stockings. etc., were not very fun to wear. And they didn't even have tampons! I would not like to get all fully dressed up just to go to the supermarket! I like getting dressed up for occasions, just not every day. It's too much trouble. @@michelles2299
You can blame America for that.
Jeans with holes in them.
Well, Americans are..slobs now. if you are ever lucky enough to go to Italy, especially Milan, you'll see that some people still care about their clothing.
*I am 76 and I remember sitting down with my great grandmother who was born in*
*1878 when I was a small child. We were looking at old family photos.I asked her,*
*"Grandma didn't you get tired of wearing black and grey all the time!"*
*I had never heard her laugh as loud or as long before! RIP Grandma Minnie!*
*I close my eyes and still hear that laugh! What a wonderful memory!*
Hilarious!
@@MrSupernova111 *Thank you Mr.!*
*I really thought the entire world, clothes*
*and all were the colors of the old black*
*and white photos!*
😂 I am laughing along too! So funny! ❤ Thank you!
You didn't know BW-photos and -movies when you were a small child in the 1950ies?
That's actually a great story, and it illustrates the way we kids who grew up with parents/grand-parents from the era of black & white. I also used to think movies in black & white just happened in the "olden times" where everything was gray!
This is back when the NY garment district made all the clothes for America, not sweat shops in Viet Nam. People aren't interested in dressing up anymore and sending suits to the dry cleaners, it was a lot of work, but the quality was better than wash and wear fabrics we have today.
Yes clothing was well made and lasted a long time!
@@Julia29853 I image most would only have a few quality outfits for each season and they repaired them and kept them well for many years. Now we have a bunch of tat
Exactly!! Philadelphia another major garment district, N. Carolina a Major furniture maker and Detroit a major car maker.
Outsourcing and cheap labor was the beginning of our downfall.
Fantastic Showing - I am 90 - this was my parents time -- lived in Jackson Heights Queens - thankyou
Hello to you Ivan. I lived in Woodside on 64th Street and Roosevelt. The elevated train was about 100 feet from my window. Learned to sleep through the sound of the EL.
@@theblueflame7592 Hello Neighbor - To some this is Hollywood - to us it is Real - bless You
Beautiful photos! I have pictures of my grandmother and great-grandmother from that time. They didn't have a lot of money, but they still managed to look respectable and refined. What a difference a century makes.
Even in the 50s we did not have much money but the money we had bought us good quality things, clothes that were worth washing for example. Service people were highly interested to deliver good service, not only to extract money. Cities were for people to live and love, and not for business only.
There is Something very strange about all this because as you say they didnt have alot of money back than, but all these pictures everything looks picture perfect even luxurious at times they are not showing the true reality of this period in time and it make sense because film was very very expensive and you were not going to waste it on poor people and their lives....... none of us would like to live in that point in time specially if you were not white or male... But to be honest I hate suits and dress shoes....
Even the men had different clothes. For different things
You wore western, in western states..NYC was different
Just the way women and men stand on streets is so elegant and distinctive. To think of a world where every single person had such sense of fashion and style! 😅❤❤
Fashion and style......It was the world of Quentin Crisp !
Something caught my attention besides the beautiful clothing styles, most people were not overweight!!!! Wow, amazing how time changed for the worst. Greetings from Arizona.
Weren't cigarettes (with nicotine that suppresses the appetite) cheaper and more available than food during the 1930's?
That was very obvious to me..fast food was not developed till this era where being bigger is flaunted ..our life styles have definitely made body shapes change for the detriment of many.
I noticed that too. (At least in these photos.)
Most people didn't have cars. Notice how little traffic there was? People had to walk everywhere. Plus sugar and chemicals weren't as frequent in the food back then and now it's in everything.
The food available was of such better quality than today. Alot of people grew up on farms so they had a good start too. Just my opinion.
I miss it all .I was born in 61 and got to catch the trail end of traditional America .This was breathtaking .What a great job you have done with all your videos bringing our Rich history back to life .
Thank you so much!
Atheism destroyed America.
As a NYer these these images are truly amazing! What's more, many of the buildings on 5th Avenue and Broadway are still in use today! These images are a real treasure! People had such a sense of style and elegance!
Love this. Ppl who were young in the 1970’s ,1980’s would never have believed we’d see the old days in colour like this. Thank you so much for bringing this to us. There’s something just wonderful about the new generation of tech savvy ppl.
I wish we still had style and glamour! Everyone was so pretty! 🤩
opposite of today. So sad.
My paternal grandmother was in the Ziegfeld Follies in the late 20s- 1931. We used to play dressup in her costumes that she kept. She married my grandfather who was a newspaper magnate. She used to teach me dance steps. i miss her so much...
The people, even the adults, look so innocent/ wholesome and just humble with their lot in life. The picture of the policeman letting the mother cat cross the street with smiling onlookers - there was a real connection between and around humans and life.
I’m sure not everywhere was like that, but the majority of people in the 1920s had pride in being human beings and they *just cared*.
Ask any person of color if peopel "just cared" in the 20's
@@2buxaslice Blacks kept to themselves just as whites did. And it was a good thing. There is nothing worse for a society than forcing "diversity" upon people with diferent ways of living and seeing the world.
@@2buxaslice People of color "just cared," in the 1920's. People of color lived harmoniously in NYC back in the day. Harlem in the 1920's was where everyone went for the arts - including white people. Don't be so narrow and bitter and ignorant. People "just cared" throughout the centuries. It is myopic people like you who never seemed to 'just care" and see everyone not your color as your enemy. That chip on your shoulder is going to ruin your back, make you walk lopsided and give you leg cramps. Better open up your world-view. By the way - the people who were widely lyn- (ched) in NYC back at the turn of the 20th century were not blacks or people of color - but Italians. Their bodies swung from bridges - so everyone could see. Just for being Italian. And those water fountains? Blacks and whites could drink out of the same water fountain, but not the Irish - they had to go without. And being served in restaurants in NYC at the turn of the 20th century? Blacks and most whites could enter through the front door and be served with dignity - but if you were Irish, you had to enter through the rear door and eat segregated by yourself. Many restaurants wouldn't even let you in - just for being Irish. But blacks and other whites were OK. And this was throughout NYC. Also the first slave owner in America was a BLACK man named Anthony Johnson. Read up on history. It might shock you. There is a LOT of history your modern day educators are not teaching you, on purpose, so you could remain ignorant and hateful and thus, easily controlled. That is exactly the MO the southern slave owners used on slaves. Keep them ignorant and illiterate so they could be controlled. Don't let this happen to you. Snap out of it - and LEARN.
@@2buxaslice There's always one in the crowd.
Stop romanticizing. Heard of The Great War? The Depression? Blacks still being lynched? Gangsters owning neighborhood s? People still killed and stole. There was just no Internet to capture many things.
4:02 I can't imagine a crowd that size in a big city like New York, and everyone looking all clean and presentable. It all looks so safe and orderly. And not a piece of garbage to be seen! Society truly has deteriorated so much
My grandmother was born in 1909. Lived to be 110. Wild to think she was alive back then.
My father was born in June of 1912 outside of Charleston , West Virginia and my mother was born in June of 1920 in Akron , Ohio. They enjoyed their childhoods and were part of the Greatest Generation that saved our world.
So much style and elegance!!! Those were the days. You see the tasteless styles in our current society. Time has surely changed for the worst. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Arizona.
Thank you so much for your comment!
They have indeed. Todays society is on a sharp decline...
Oh yeah all that lovely racism, sexism, homophobia, eugenics what a better time
@@calblakebrough7528 ok Karen
just true mate@@jamesb6080
Thank you for such a wonderful and interesting photos. People were well dressed, they were in good shape, plus, everyone enjoyed each other's company (no cell phones - LOL!).
Fabulous video! I can’t get over how clear the pictures are considering that most of them are over 100 years old. And being colourised makes them even better. Really enjoyed watching it, thanks for uploading it 👍
Photographs were then taken with large-format cameras, on large photographic plates. That's why they are clear. And painting them turns them into cheap fakes
A much, much healthier society than it is today.
Unless you were Black, Irish, Polish or Italian course. Apart from that and about 100 other things we have today that weren't around then. Things were better.
@@southwestkinema9149 It’s a fair comment, even more so with regard to blacks in the States as a result of slavery. However, it is also fair to say that no mass immigration should take place that worsens the situation of the local population.
There's ALWAYS a few sarcastic wise ass commenters who write to try and counter the fact that society was much stronger back those days. It's indisputable that society is rapidly unravelling in modern times.
@@southwestkinema9149Well, let’s see, every weekend today, blacks are being killed by other blacks randomly on every street corner in every major city in the United States. There’s plenty of drugs and guns to go around too. Back in 1920, why weren’t blacks killing each other back then? They seem to had traditional families back then. Society wasn’t perfect back then but if we have it so much better now, why are so many people so sad?
Well, it was nice and bright back then, not dangerous and dark. The darker it gets the more dangerous it gets. Ever notice that?
Thanks for the trip back. I was actually expecting to see Fred Astaire walking down the street!!
FYI: The male figure in the third image is the actor Buster Keaton
Styles are all gorgeous very classic and elegant.. I wish I was born in that era I love the fashion, even old buildings and structures..
Wow, everything looks more alive with colour. Brilliant restoration👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much!
100 years ago my parents generation. The world quckly changed in their lifetime. Some changes they saw left them with concern for a future generation.
Such Class, refinement, elegance and standards!
I love this. Sad it is not like this anymore. I love those eras. Elegant and beautiful from the buildings to the cars! Sad how down we went since then. I am a native New Yorker born and raised in Brooklyn living in suburban NJ now and breaks my heart to see what happen to Brooklyn and NYC. Not the same since I grew up there 70s 80s 90s. I guess it most cities now in the country to see how much they have fallen.
Yeah, women couldn’t vote and the segregation.
Hardly the “good ole days”
Disgusting republicans are trying to replicate it. Good riddance to that.
What about the Bronx in the 70's 80's? how was it?
Every decades just gotten worse and worse and the government just rack up trillions of debts giving money to each other in a lavish banquets and money laundering while dumbing down the population think it is better now than ever 😂
I guess your not on Billionaires row.
@@southwestkinema9149 Northern Bronx I know was better than it is now . Southern Bronx was horrible. Bronx is less than 40 square miles. Brooklyn is 72 square miles. Brooklyn NE and North Central are both horrible areas to live. Bronx now is horrible like way over 90 percent. Native New Yorkers mainly moved to suburbs now. NYC 70s 80s and even the 90s had more. 70s at least 70 percent 90s 50 percent. Now maybe 25 percent. Sadly. You can see them at games I know concerts almost all of them or restaurants or many still work in the city but they reside in the suburbs now. 80 to 90 percent were urbanites either they were or their children or grandchildren or great grandchildren lived in Urban NY or NJ. Many from the Bronx now live Upstate NY Westchester Rockland to Putnam Duchess. Many from Queens Brooklyn moved to Long Island and NJ like many Staten Islanders. Staten Islanders came from Brooklyn before some going to NJ. Of course Urban NJ moved to suburban NJ too although it was small. 10 million live in Urban NY NJ over 8 million in NY and NJ or Connecticut up to 10.5 million. Suburbs on the extended editions have up to 14 million people. Suburbs after WW2 had 4 or 5 million in those areas tripled in population by the year 2000 and 2010. Why do I know? Lover of history and Geography.
What a time capsule..looking back to this era those who could dressed beautifully but as a whole many suited up to what could be higher standard than today…protesting against poverty was a indicator that life was tough for many…thankyou for giving us this one..❤
Everyone looks impeccable.
So much style and glamour.
Wonderful nostalgic images of bygone days. Well done for preserving and recording these great photos.
Fabulous pictures....and Fairbanks and Pickford were huge...but, the epitome of style in the 20's became Rudolph Valentino! Older men hated him, younger men copied his style, and women--well they adored him!!
Drug stores still had ice cream/soda counters in the sixties. I can still taste the strawberry milk shake.😋❤❤
People had style back then !!
Such pity that the world looks so dirty, sad and perverted nowadays. Thanks for bringing elegance and culture back here.
Perverted?
@@d7458With kids being indoctrinated with explicit sexuality at a very young age for exemple?
@@d7458Sounds kind of fun!
It's the same lineage of people in the video that have perverted America today, from porn to pedophilia to creating the curriculum in schools. Don't forget these people are NOT Americans, but invaders of this country. In order to stop the perversion you have to get rid of the people, who brought it to this Nation. Unfortunately, they are the ones who controls the direction of America, to which they are deliberately running it into the ground. They were every bit as perverted and corrupt as they were back then as they are today (from lynchings to land theft to burning down and flooding entire towns). That's how we got here.
To be fair, they may have been dressed nice, but much of the nation were racist lowlifes who kept other races at the rock bottom of society.
This just made my day! I loved every moment of it! Thank you so much - I will have to explore your channel a lot more! Thank you again!
Beautiful pictures whose colors brought us back to that time, as if we were living in it
Men were men and women were women. No doubt about it! The styles of clothes were gorgeous!!
Whoever colorized it for us to enjoy, thank you. And also for bringing this to TH-cam. Makes them more relatable and real. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I appreciate it
These are great photos for 100 years ago, probably enhanced & colorized. I love seeing them all in color, though . Interesting to see life in my grandparents time. Times were great before the depression of the 30s.
So nice to see NYC at its best! Loved the signs all USA , small business doing well! Easter parades and such lovely fashion. Very few people fat. A lot of self pride in those pics. Better times then than now. Thank you so much!
Instead of the filthy dark shithole its become, yes.
Imagine what these people from the 1900to 1920s would think of todays America
Yes, they would rather make an about face and return to their graves!!!!!
Well, to begin with generally speaking, we understood the value of style! I LOVE these colorized photos!!
I could watch these videos all day long. Fascinating.
Loving the "traffic stop", letting the obviously nursing cat carry its kitten safely across the street. 😄
Wow who took those fabulous pictures....well done! Such a fabulous era! Women didn't look trashy and men dressed elegantly! 😊
"Women didn't look trashy." It's completely relative. Imagine being born deep in the Victorian era, and then, as you age, watching women's clothes change, post WW I and into the 1920s & '30s. Suddenly the hemlines are going way, way up; and at the beach, _bare thighs,_ even! Smoking, and driving around with boys - without a chaperone! And at the movies, all sorts of naughty cavorting, often leading to a spontaneous kiss. No, peoples' idea of 'trashy' depends entirely on what era they were born in.
@@pbasswil Yep,but they didnt dress in casual fashion in public at the time...there was clothes you went out with, clothes you wore at home or only in some places with. Some people behavior were 'trashy" but, people general fashion wasn't casual ok? thats the difference.Also,hemline went to mid calf by the 1930s.
@@jahirareyes1102 You use the term 'casual', but we can't compare what _we_ 21st century people mean by that word, and what it would mean in the early 20th century. If everyone dresses a certain way in their day-to-day public activities, then that way of dressing is considered just normal, work-a-day atire - nothing special, and certainly not 'dressed up'. For us moderns, ties and suits are only worn on special occasions or in certain lines of work (corporate business & government & law). But for someone 100 years ago, men would certainly have had 'nothing special' suits & ties they wore to the movie theatre or the library. They would have considered those everyday suits to be fairly casual atire - and quite distinct to what they would wear to a wedding or a high society affair. But for us today, it's become impossible to see a suit without thinking 'dressed up.'
The other thing that complicates our perception of the clothes in these photos is: Society was far more stratified according to class. Most people were 'working class', and they tended to dress according to their work. But the wealthy - and especially 'old money', or in Europe, the aristocracy - generally dressed in a way that matched their social status. And they were more likely to leave a trail of photographs and portraits, in which they were generally dressed in the best and often the most stylish clothes available. By the '20s, class divisions were already starting their century-long decline; but it would still be decades before rich folks and average folks started dressing more or less alike.
@@pbasswil I agree, that you cannot obviously its not the same thing especially,since modern fashion idea of "casual" is a mix of clothes which for instance jeans which is considered in the modern era acceptable to wear in public as a normal article of clothing,but before the jeans acceptance it was considered something to be worn by:factory workers, miners and farmers.
I love the architecture and all the old street lamps. Love this, thank you.
Even the hot dog vendor is stunning, and wonderful photography for all the street scenes, and all those Derby hats in different colors.
Everyone is so stylish in the clothing, with hats and everything. Perhaps not very practical, but beautiful. I hope some day this style will trend again. Also the cars are so beautiful and not boring as modern cars.
I loved the clothes to. Also everything is neat and tidy! Wonderful! Beautiful coloring! Thank you for sharing these amazing photos!
Thank you so much for your comment!
It's stunning how happy the people look in the photos.
I finally found my Time Machine, it is wonderful to see these fine images from a time past.
Thank you so much!
как одеты женщины-это сплошной восторг-я бы и сейчас носила такие фасоны-а то модельеры такую ужасную моду нам показывают на подиумах-даже стыдно смотреть -надо этим работникам моды показать эти фото 100 летней давности -какая была красота в одежде много лет назад-спасбо вам за чудесные фото с уважением ольга из россии
Thank you! How fascinating and relatable to see in color. Wow. Such style and simply love the hats. People seem so much more healthy and not slobs like today. Sigh. My mother was born in 1918 and I never saw her go out the door without lipstick, powder, hair in place and dressed appropriately. “Posture, dear!!” Thanks, Mom. ❤
Awesome work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 special thanks for the background music, it created atmosphere.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the wonderful photos
Thank you so much for your comment!
Beautiful photos. Thanks so much. The photo at 9:38 states "man with car in New York City in 1920s." I actually think that is Chicago and he is standing on the street in front of a hotel which was originally called The Stevens Hotel later changed to the Conrad Hilton and is now the Chicago Hilton and Towers. The building next door is the Blackstone Hotel.
I wish we dressed so nicely today, it shows self-respect and class. Unfortunately ,today so few have it, and the ones that people seem to idolize today exhibit anything but class, Society is seriously tanking
We can all make the decision to dress a little nicer, even if other don't. These videos inspire me to up my game.
That was fun! Good job and LOVE the music!!
Thank you so very much…I enjoyed watching it…thanks for your hard work
Thank you so much for your comment!
I grew up only hearing stories about my grandparents as they had passed long before I was born. The only grandparent alive when my younger brother and I were born would pass away when I was four years old. Because they seem like a mystery, these photos help me to understand their time. I am only 55 and it just seems weird to say my grandparents were born at the turn of the century. My parents had my younger brother and I long after their first three were born and I am several generations away from most conventional family understandings. I have done some genealogy searches to get to know them. This video helps a lot by looking into their daily lifestyles.
About 100 years ago - my grandmother's generation!
Yes, but mine wasn't in the USA 😅
THEY WERE TIMES OF EARLY IMMIGRANTS ARE GRANDPARENTS & THOSE WHO FOLLOWED FROM THE OLD COUNTRY IRELAND ITALY GERMANY GREECE SOUTH AMERICA .. PRAYING & HOPPING TO THEIR MARK IN THE U.S.A.THEY ALL ENJOYED THINGS IN LIFE THAT WE ALL TAKE FOR GRANTED TODAY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!👌👌👌👌😊😊😊😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I kept thinking of my grandparents too! They were in there late teens and early 20s at that time.
Around seven years ago I asked a 95-yr. old man if he remembered when men wore gloves and used canes. He said he did. He was a kid then. This was with reference to the Al Jolson movie “About a Quarter to Nine”!😮😅🤗
I'm only 60 but I like going back in time
Thankyou for your time today 😊
Thank you, I appreciate it
I truly enjoyed this video full of elegance, class, beauty, and lovely people in New York City, when NYC was a place to be visited. LOVE videos like this one showing how these people lived, dressed and enjoyed their times.
Thank you for sharing such refined, sublime, exceptional and definitely exquisite video and its content, it is marvelous and wonderful , a first-class video that I haven’t seen in a long time. And It is wonderful to still remember that beautiful time. I personally appreciate videos like this one. 👌🙌👍🙌♥️
Thank you so much !
very nice and enjoyable. all of the people seemed like they had alot of strength and initiative.
I did not expect today to bring me fresh memories of the first two decades of the twentieth century. I am grateful to @BrightStyle for this lovely addition from the past era.
Thank you so much
The film camera. New technology for the times and always developing. People sure made good use of it and I'm happy they did. We have these wonderful photographs.
The man between the women in the bathing suits, is a young Buster Keaton
Happy times before the Great Depression. Fun photos from the past.
I love this. My kind of era. Thank you so much for posting this. ❤
This is incredible. It brings what we thought was the distant past a lot closer.
Meine Lieblingszeit um 1900. Kein Zeitalter war wieder so verschwenderisch... Alles, was wir heute noch lieben... Das antike Flair hat heute noch seine Verehrer. Für den Plastikmüll interessiert sich niemand. Dankeschön.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤😊
Thank you for your comment!
Really enjoyed seeing the clothing styles.
The 1920s girls remind me that my mother-in-law was a small child in NYC then!
Awesome ❤ Thank you so much
I can remember my mom dressing to the ‘nines’ to go to the grocery store. Dress (never pants!), make-up, beehive hair-do, nails done, etc. She refused to be seen in public looking like a slob. I thank her for teaching me to have that level of respect for myself not to mention those around me.
Thank you for sharing these photos. I've always been fascinated with historical pictures and homes movies. Life seemed a lot simpler back then.
Thank you for your comment
Thank you so much for this lovely video!!!❤️
Muito bacana! Gostaria que as pessoas de hoje voltassem a se vestir com mais elegância. Lindo demais!
Fantastic video. People had class, style, manners and morals. The world was a lot better place then.
Thanks for sharing this video, God bless 🙏
Make America like this again❤.
Back when people dressed with dignity and effort. No leggings, crop tops, messy buns, ugg-boots or the like. What a time to be alive. Love the video!
Unless you were Black, Irish, Polish or Italian course. Apart from that and about 100 other things we have today that weren't around then. Things were better.
@@southwestkinema9149 ALL THINGS were better then . You could walk in a city and not see drug addicts … hardly any homeless … no mugging or rapes … No people having mob stealing .. no computers .. no feminism .. 🩸 Only the Blood of Jesus Acts 4:12
People just need their phones they don’t cared about each others and any proper manners towards each others. It’s all about me me me
Not to mention WW1@@southwestkinema9149
Es una.gozada ver como vestian nuestros antepasados ..las damas y los caballeros muy elegantes con sus sombreros ...los coches de esa epoca eran preciosos ....👍👍👍👍👍💜💜💜💜🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸👍
My grandmother was born in 1910 down in Lumpkin Georgia. She married my granddad and they moved to Pittsburgh PA. This video makes me wonder how my grandmother dressed in the 20s and 30s. The people of today that have the Internet are just so blessed! It’ll be easy to keep track of what people look like moving forward. I enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing❤
Gorgeous. Such class and style. I love it ❤
Thanks
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you !
The picture at 8:09, "A man reads a newspaper, New York, 1919," was taken some time in 1939 or 1940. Most likely in 1940. The Sixth Ave El ran until 4 Dec 1938. It was demolished sometime in 1939. The construction with the boards is obviously the entrance to the not yet opened Sixth Ave Subway. The subway opened on 15 Dec 1940.
I wondered too, looking down 6 Ave. but no El.
Thank you for not using AI-generated voice naration for the entire video. It is nice to just look at the photos with soft music playing in the background.
Wow, this is so amazing to see these old colorized photos.
Geez, everyone seemed well mannered and well dressed…..everyone. What happened?
Freedom.
Very amazing. Imagine people seeing these 100 years from now. Crazy.
What can l say..all this picture give us very sad and happy memory..l'm not born yet but this already exist 😢...sadness plus happiness.
Good job! (0:37) This is Buster Keaton and the photo was taken at the Brunton Studio in Hollywood during the filming of "Hard Luck" (1921). Greetings from Poland.
I'm not usually a fan of colorizing old B&W films or pictures. Usually they lose some of their charm for me. It's almost a texture thing, if that makes sense. But these are very well done and interesting. I really enjoy the music and the timing of the slides - not too slow and not too fast. New subscriber.
very enjoyable photos. Thanks
Thank you so much!
Good contrast of 19th century building at left 9:40 and 20th century buildings to the right.
Amazing! Thank you - this made my day. I imagined my grandparents in the era.
If people from back then interacted with people from today, they’d each think the other group was so weird.
