Coloring the Past

I am loving these photos that have been repurposed from black and white to color. Seeing these historic images transformed really changes the perspective of time. When you look at the photos in black and white they seems so old timey... it's hard to imagine being in that place and time. However when you look at same photo updated it really creates a new reality and allows you to live more vicariously through the image. What do you think? Do you prefer the color or black and white?
