Description

It sometimes seems like historic events like the American Civil War happened in another world, a black and white world, far removed from our own. As such, most people don't really consider them in a modern context. I guess I wanted to try to "breathe some life" into an old photograph to make it seem more relevant. I also wanted to see if the coloring technique I've used for various collages could work for photographs.

Ulysses Grant at Cold Harbor. Original photograph by Mathew Brady.
