I'm thinking about setting up an online business for this, but of right now I just do it for fun. I know that some of you have a cherished photograph that you would not mind seeing put into color. The higher the resolution, the better. Send them my way! It should not take me long to get it done for you. Here is an example:

Cool!!

that's really nice work!

What's up with the belt loop in the middle of their pants? Odd.

I didn't notice that! I guess in 1911 belt loop functionality hadn't *quite* been figured out yet. Must have been very awkward when you REALLY had to go!

I'm guessing the buckle was off to the side so not to get in the way when they bent over to field a ball. It is strange looking though.

How about either of these two? The first is a pre-rookie photo of Mickey Mantle on the Joplin team. The second is an original Charles Conlon photo of Rogers Hornsby. I just love the odd expression on his face. Both are fairly recent purchases. I'd love to see either of them, but especially the Mantle, in color. Thanks!!!

Could you repost the Mantle? I'm still waiting for authentication from net54 to see it...

Distelrath · August 31, 2011 3:04PM

Kind of messed up on the pinstriping. Sorry...

Awesome, they look really great, you do really good work. I love the first photo of Cobb and Jackson. Could you do these two? Would really love to see the Kluszewski.

Wow thats cool, how do you do that? By hand

Thanks

Peace

Distelrath · August 31, 2011 10:49PM

Made it easier LOL. About time for me to sell this one...

Yup... good 'ol photoshop. I'd equate it to airbrushing in a way...

Looks great! Here is the Mantle photo, hosted off Net54. Thanks!!!

mccardguy1 · August 31, 2011 11:42PM

Great work but the Klu is a very very cool shot even in black and white!! I love those old and unique photos that have cool stadium shots in them.

WOW!!! Those look awesome! You really do awesome work.

Distelrath · September 1, 2011 2:19AM

Wow! What a beautiful picture! What'd it set you back (if you don'y mind my asking?) Perhaps you could lease it to Topps/Upper Deck to get a special memorial card made? Absolute BEAUTY!

scmavl · September 2, 2011 4:56AM

Wow Distelrath, that looks GREAT!!! Thanks so much. It set me back a pretty penny (the most I'd ever paid for a photo) but I think it's well worth it. Again, super job!

Make the pads pink

Distelrath · September 2, 2011 5:37AM

Wow that is TOO damned funny! I laughed so hard making this. Great idea!
