Colorized photo from 1907

Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: Garfield Park, Chicago, IL

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like.
