Old Black & White Photos Have Always Fascinated Me…

 

…this photo from June 1902 has become a personal obsession over the past few years: my source in learning how to colourise, paint digitally & build virtual 3D scenes.

Who were these people? What did they see in full colour? What did the world sound like to them? What did they sound like?

I enjoy using new technology in an attempt to answer these questions & bring Old Newry back to life, to preserve it for our digital future.

Throughout my 30-year career in print, web, and 3D design across Europe and the United States, I have now established my digital art studio in Newry.
