I love old photos and I love dogs. One of the older family photos I have is of my great-great-grandad (1845-1920) and his dog ol' Shep. It's the only photo that I've tried to colorize using ai. First time quality is evident and who knows if it's even close, but it was interesting to get some hints at realism mixed in with the unnatural bits. I could clearly see my grandmother's resemblance around the eyes. So many questions I wish I'd had the foresight to ask when i was a kid and they were still living...

Son's of a frontier.........in my case first nations mix indian swirl! Lover of smoked herring filets, and venison backstraps!
 
Oh, wow! It would be hard to imagine a more interesting image than the first photo. That gentleman looks fit and built for adventure. I'll bet he lived an interesting life.

Do you know anything about the second photo? People always look so serious in the old photos. It's hard to tell whether they were simply sitting for a photo or memorializing a loss. Beautiful family.
 
First is a dairy farmer/Logger from charlotte Vt that was somehow a family member....Sadly i cant ask those whom would know because they have passed away. The family pic is my family from https://www.britannica.com/place/Chateauguay from way way back, Somewhere in this family there is a genetic predisposition of manbear hair all over the body.....Well endowed man whores .......and unusually long eyebrow hairs. I come from wet coppers of high precision that worked for the govts liquor dept it seems if what i read out of the french books translated right. Irritates me i had to turn 40-50 yrs old before i could see/hear/understand where my heritage actually was! The first nations is currently being looked into we have in our family because its so hard to find actual documentation outside of spoken.

love bugs......did you know that bumble bees Literally use nitrogen for life...and dog park urines are a great way for them to uptake nitrogen with ease and in plentiful supply. my local dog park fence posts in spring and summer are a bumblebee haven and they coexist with the canines quite well!
