Colorized photo from 1940
Original title: Outside of the tobacco warehouses
Photographer: Jack Delano
Location: Durham, NC

What fun it was to be a kid in the 1940's. You could build yourself a small car using a wooden crate, some scrap wood and salvaged wheels. Then you could "safely" roll down a dirt road, not worrying too much about pavement removing your face parts if you crashed.

Brakes would also work a lot better on a dirt road, especially if you were barefoot. In those days people expected kids to do dangerous stuff like fly by in a homemade car on a busy street with real cars on it. They aren't "safe" like today's kids, which can only go outside if their schedule allows it.

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. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
