Description

Colorized Photo from 1952

This is Washington Street Market - I've always liked night scenes, probably because I don't really shoot night scenes myself. I liked this picture, it's a location that doesn't exist any more. And it shows a life around here. While everyone does seem to have a posed, look, even the truck drive, it still has that old time feel of getting produce that would never be ok with the FDA.

I chose brighter colors for the building because despite the image being from 1952, the building was probably from around 1880, and colors are usually kept for that old wolrd feel. I went with green for the truck, mostly because it looks like it should be green.

The people are the only problem, its clearly a long exposure, so there are a few ghosts, and movement, but it doesn't hurt the image too much, I don't think.
