  2. Hello Brian, thanks for your interest. I have been repairing and coloring photographs for several years, especially of the First World War.
    This activity turns out to be quite rewarding, along with the identification of vehicles of that time. Somehow I created a certain artistic tendency on the Internet regarding coloring old photographs from the time, especially of military themes.
    Now, there are better and better "color recovery illustrators" on the Internet.
    Cordially,
    José

    Hola Brian, gracias por tu interés. Llevo varios años reparando y coloreando fotografías, especialmente de la 1ª Guerra Mundial.
    Esta actividad resulta ser bastante gratificante, junto a la identificación de vehículos de esa época. De alguna forma he creado cierta tendencia artística en Internet respecto a colorear viejas fotografías de época, especialmente de temas militares.
    Ahora, cada vez hay mejores "ilustradores de recuperación del color" en Internet.
