Description

This has to be the longest amount of time I ever took to make an image. It started some time in the earley sixties and finished in 2007. That could be me in the photo but I'm not really sure. It was taken with a green Kodak Brownie Fiesta on 127 B/W film. I processed the film and made the print some time around 1980. Colored with Marshalls Photo oils and pencils. Scaned and processed in PhotoShop CS2 in 2007.

Irony is, this image is as disturbing as recent captures with "kids with guns"

That is really incredible! But what is much more is the quality of the coloring which is so realistic that I first beleived that it was a true, slightly faded out, color photo. I have tried to color BW photos and drawings too (one of them I posted in my gallery one year ago) in Photoshop using a Layer set in Color mode. However, the result (it is true that I made a brutal vector selection), however very good, looks like the painted postcards of the beginning of the XXth century. However, I am sure that with Photoshop, a good deal of time, one could reach the same quality than you with Marshalls Photo oils. My highest congrats for this image! It is terrible to think that this cute boy afterwards probably went to war. Many boys grown young adults were killed or killed millions of people including civilians and children. In some countries the situation is even worse because very young children are used as true soldiers, killing machines.
