Description
Colorized photo from 1880
Original Title: Garrison New York
Location: 25 Garrisons Landing, Phillipstown, NY
This had two problems:
1. There was a large chunk missing in that corner. And due to the distortion, all the other roof peaks were at different angles. Everything needed a lot of adjusting to get it to look right.
2. I needed the people to stand out well against the background, because the original was so dark. This color green is a color from the 1860's or so (the whole town was built in 1850, and by 1892 they replaced this station). So I used the light green to make the all stand out.
The original was much taller, it showed a lot more track, but it didn't add to the story, so I cropped it out. The original had wires on the top, but it was a pain to put them back, it didn't add to the story, so I removed those. Except for one bunch.
I liked that one boy on the chair, looks like he just came back from a shoot out. The lady in purple is clearly the time traveler.
