歷史照片和它們背后的故事

歷史照片和它們背后的故事

Joel Bellviure, the main colorizer at Cassowary Colorizations, started this project out of a desire to learn through historical rediscovery.

Joel Bellviure, Cassowary Colorizations的主要著色師，出于對(duì)歷史重新發(fā)現(xiàn)的渴望開始了這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。

Cassowary Colorizations has colorized photos for both media publications as well as regular people (by accepting their commissions) but no matter where an image comes from, it is treated with attention and care.

Cassowary Colorizations為媒體出版物和普通人(通過接受他們的委托)著色照片，但無論圖像來自哪里，它都受到關(guān)注和照顧。

If you take a look at Cassowary Colorizations' social media, you'd quickly understand just how meticulous their work really is. Every picture comes with a detailed description, providing not only visual information but important historical facts behind them as well.

如果你看看Cassowary Colorizations的社交媒體，你很快就會(huì)明白他們的工作是多么細(xì)致。每一張圖片都附有詳細(xì)的描述，不僅提供了視覺信息，而且還提供了重要的歷史事實(shí)。

75 years of Casablanca. Today I woke up in a friend’s house, without having slept too much. Still with half-closed eyes, I opened my phone and the news popped up: today it marks the 75 anniversary of Casablanca. I don’t know what the other passengers might have thought of me, colorizing frenetically in the train back home, while, of course, trying to not fall dead due to lack of sleep. Here it is, my last homage to one of the best films ever made.

75年的卡薩布蘭卡。今天我在朋友家醒來，沒有睡太多覺。半開著眼睛，我打開手機(jī)，新聞突然冒了出來:今天是卡薩布蘭卡的75周年紀(jì)念日。我不知道其他乘客會(huì)怎么看我，在回家的火車上瘋狂地涂上顏色，當(dāng)然，也努力不讓自己因?yàn)樗卟蛔愣沟囟?。這是我向最好的電影之一致敬的最后一部電影。

A picture I did two years ago. Men (and a dog) of the Seaforth Highlanders rest in a trench, near La Gorgue, France, August 1915. Note how the bayonets are fixed, possibly pointing to the staging of the picture, as in 95% of the occasions.

這是我兩年前拍的。1915年8月，法國(guó)拉高格附近，海福斯高地人在戰(zhàn)壕中休息。注意刺刀是如何固定的，可能是由于畫面的編排，95%的情況都是如此。

An Italian Alpino mountain specialist ziplines from one peak to another, c. 1917. Although ziplines might be seen as an indicative of amusement or military operations, they have been used as easy and cheap transportation method during centuries, specially on mountainous regions, such as China’s Yunnan, where even ziplines were used instead of bridges. In Australia, for instance, they were used for delivering food, cigarettes or tools without the need of crossing valleys and rivers, something adapted in war times.

1917年，一位意大利高山滑雪專家用滑索從一座山峰滑到另一座山峰。雖然滑索可能被視為娛樂或軍事行動(dòng)的象征，但幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來，它們一直被用作簡(jiǎn)單而廉價(jià)的交通工具，特別是在山區(qū)，比如中國(guó)的云南，那里甚至用滑索來代替橋梁。例如，在澳大利亞，它們被用來運(yùn)送食物、香煙或工具，而不需要穿越山谷和河流，這在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)期有所改變。
