I am just blown away by what you've been able to do with those photos. I know just enough of Photoshop to completely ruin most photos. I am greatly impressed!

thanks dude! i liked how the photo of banta sitting next to waterfield turned out, but they were all fun, thing is it can get a bit addicting! there are lots of colorizations out there that strike me as way too "hot", overly saturated, it causes shadows and skin tone to look very off, something i was trying to avoid without putting in the enormous time and effort it takes to learn how the top guys do it, ha ha... anyway, it's fun!

have always loved this relatively rare photo of all-pro tommy wilson (hb/fb 1956-1961), it's such a classic football pose, and those damn uniforms... there are color photos of the rams from this era, the mid 50s, but this one was in black and white so i took a stab at colorizing it!

this classic photo of kenny washington has been colorized by others, so i thought i'd give it a shot as well..

heisman trophy winner and west point great glenn davis - after 3 years of military service, collegiate great glenn davis joined the rams, but a bad knee cut his nfl career short, he was out of football after just 2 seasons.

1949

- the first and only year the rams wore red/yellow uniforms
- the first year the rams wore plastic helmets
- the second year the rams wore horns on their helmet
- but the horn wasn't fred gehrke's original design, it was a horn template provided by the plastic helmet company.
- it was the only year the rams used this horn design, in 1950 the rams returned to gehrke's design.

Great work as always A1; your passion shows.

Re: The Ponderosa. I believe a number of sets and scenes were filmed in Incline Village, Lake Tahoe/Nevada side. I remember driving by them often, especially when I was a kid. It looked very real in color to me but, proximity bias??? My dad actually built our first color TV.

Ahh memories.
