It does give them a lot more humanity. Especially that picture of Lincoln with the smirk.

Not sure it adds more to the photos than it detracts.

Generally I disagree I think it makes the past more accessible to modern people so I like it as a history teaching exercise.  But that is not to say it works for every coloration.  I have my doubts Abe's clothes were really that bright.

Yeah I think this is a really good thing for bringing the past to life.

The way she should be. Barefoot and in the kitchen.

Not the same exact photo, though both are obviously from the same series of photographs. :sleep:

Cal's right, she's smiling more in Mongers pic. Exact same pose though.

Fun little factoid: those little folds in bras and such where the nipple goes are called "darts."

That's because they got bigger when she got fat.

Well duh, but I thought they were bigger before that happened. :)
