arch of freedom freedom of arch. a multimedia project about artists and their right to express their views freely. d w dot com to freedom. i love john lennon graves to have you on board again from fantastic photos to the list as dishes here's what's coming up today so. colorful a british artist gives a black and white photos in uganda. that isn't a dining out in the spanish captain of the.

classic a ukrainian who is there someplace about all the sex assault. we kick off today so with the back in time and the past photos were only in black and white spots jordan lloyd's image just brings some attitude life's to them that is in color to black and white photos has been around for a long time but with today's technology the british photographer can add a new level of realism is that his book the paper machine coloring the past is the perfect proves. the eiffel tower wasn't always great when it was completed one hundred thirty years ago it was an elegant phoenician read. this nine hundred forty s. black and white snapshot really comes alive for the splash of color it shows us so just by the taj mahal. and this picture of perhaps the most famous native american fishing bull is now. vailable in color. these old photos have

had color added to them retroactively. the person behind the digital reconstruction is thirty four year old jordan lloyd a british photographer and history fan. for many people his history is a very black and white it's an abstract concept that you only learn about in score through these sort of books and things like that but all of a sudden when you see something in color you can relate to it a lot more. this photo archive in the british county of kent is one of jordan thought of inspiration it contains an estimated five million black and white photos leaned across global history it's a real treasure trove for jordan. only three original print exists for most of the photos and for some there's only a negative. once jordan chooses an interesting picture to work on he has it digitized by the archive this photo from one nine hundred fifty three years of

nelson's column a landmark in london's famous trafalgar square. good images hard lots of recognizable so when we're looking at things like buildings and especially when we're looking at older cities like london berlin so forth a lot of these older buildings still remain in some form or they might to be made of the same material the same stone the same brick and so a lot of those elements can be identified again looking at color photography of the time or even paintings actually then just matching it up. sometimes he also has a stroke of luck this bus for instance is a successor model to the bus in the photo and counters like this help him piece together the evidence whenever possible jordan likes to gauge of the original setting he sure this photo must have been taken here sixty five years ago directly on travolta's square. finding the right location also helps in recreate the cover

as. you can usually look at the original photograph and look at the weather conditions and think ok it's a similar weather condition to where this photo was taken and i'll be looking at things like shadows or be looking at the time of day and this is really helpful when i'm on location because when i get the exact view i can usually tell what time of day it is as well so in this particular project officer what's really interesting is that it's taken at midday but the fog in the small and the pollution is so much that it appears like it's night time. now jordan has to piece the puzzle together with the help of many reference photos he uses them to mix his digital palette. colorization is painstaking one of the trickier pictures can take him several weeks. there are more than a hundred different layers of color in this photo will then.

when you're looking at the reference images the red in the reference image that you might have might not necessarily be the exact same shade of red because you you you put it in and then it doesn't quite look doesn't look quite right with the atmosphere in the background and so therefore you have to then change that shade of red or whatever it needs to be just says the fit background atmosphere or you might have lighting or something that changes the color because you know color often changes with materials with lighting conditions and so forth jordan has come a rise several hundred shows has his customers include private individuals publishers and museums as well as music labels he's also released a book containing many of his photos replicating the colors exactly the way they were back then is almost impossible even for him. when you're looking at any photograph. and you don't know anything about

a point everything is guesswork and the whole point of doing this really deep or very befall to call historical research is you want to try and eliminate as much of the guesswork possible and so a good golfer may is if i think i can identify more than ninety percent of the things in that particular photograph or i think i've got it right then it's good enough. george of lloyd isn't trying to rewrite history but to expand upon it with his work he hopes to bring the stories behind the folks back to life. i always stay in the past for next report because my college mag on the also made a trip back in time she went to the worlds of led to the oldest rest of it and there's a printer the book teen is ok did in the spanish capital moderate it open and seven hundred twenty five tastes changed a lot over the decades so how could

a restaurant survive for so many years meghan went to find out what's so special about it. hundreds of famous person y. or squares almost four hundred years old it bore witness to bull fights and trials during the spanish inquisition now though it serves as a popular gathering place so i'm standing on madrid central square plus on my you are now this place is bustling with activity it's filled with restaurants and cafes and souvenir shops but what most tourists here do not realize is that just beyond that archway is the world's oldest restaurant so follow me show you where it. has been redefined in and around parts of my your many of the corridors and cobblestone streets also date back centuries there are hidden gems working around every corner but only one holds a very special title. so here we are at the oldest. restaurant in the

world so what do you know team that means the nephew of fourteen and spanish on the teams were the original owners of this establishment words at first wasn't in it was a french couple who started it so let's go inside and see what we discover. the gonzalez family took over the restaurant in the one nine hundred thirty s. now in its third generation antonio gonzales is the managing director family tradition here is keep the decor of the restaurant reflects both the present owners personal touch as well as the original style. in one thousand nine hundred eighty six the guinness book of world records designated bo teen the oldest restaurant in the world for very specific reasons the group is that they must be given the same name or you've been working at the same place i stopped working since the beginning we are completely. the restaurant opens daily at one pm but before that the staff are busy making all the preparations for the lunch crowds protein is famous for its

traditional spanish dishes. the rare but if. so tell me about the specialty of this house we've been. specialty of the houses roast suckling pig. which in it's a very traditional dish and we prepare it in this office so this is a very special welcome because it dates back to you know seventeen twenty five it's an original we do all our growing and some of the most of the sort of. one floor below the kitchen antonio tells me that this dining room is even older than the restaurant dating back to fifteen eighty it leads down to a cave which boasts a long history the whining here is for display only since the room produces too much more share. these. babies are used maybe but since we are talking time center for the first sleep regime so. to drink old buildings.

or madrid the first to. arrive. or structure. back upstairs it's time for lunch traditional roast second pig is of course on the menu served by the long time each have your sanchez after forty years of protein he's also become a permanent fixture here he tells me one suckling pig can serve up to five people. one particular guest used to eat here quite regularly and that is the american writer ernest hemingway in fact he liked this restaurant so much that he wrote about it in this book the sun also rises and also one of the other books death in the afternoon and tony what do you know about hemingway's time here he was ready for me to be or to roast beef rolled up home heating bill to even if you tried to buy one was. no good results then my grandfather told him

i still use keep on bright you could buy you know myself. i have to read this famous passage from the second to last page of hemingway's book because he mentions exactly this dish he says we lunched upstairs. is one of the best restaurants in the world we had roast young suckling pig and we drink we go outta so in the spirit i guess it's time to raise our glasses and say salute and to the next few hundred years of business. so if you think about the saxophone you think about just music right in the eighty's most of the songs that accompanied by the instrument and today's music it's not used that often but now it's a lender's young lady wants to put that instrument back in the spotlight a serious side to give up combines the saxophone was clever dick amusic success

even long and classic in twenty sixteen the biggest goal is to establish the saxophone as a solo instrument and the concert hall. she has everything a young classical music star needs sensational to dazzle charisma. instrument she's mastered like almost no one else besides of course. this isn't a pants exit it's definitely a real saxophone a soprano like i don't actually invented of course the tenor of sax which everyone knows from jazz there's the baritone the bass a d. from the contrabands saxophone you need to stand on a chair to play that one. who was born in crimea has rediscovered the classical saxophone. the instrument was invented in the

nineteenth century for romantic music and military. her brother gave it to her as a present she was ten but she never dreamed of using. the side been playing the piano for four years lovely classical pieces by beethoven and bach and i really like that music i got the saxophone when i was ten and it was more remarks than felt more natural i love townes the sound was made it's there is soon if you blow it on and you feel that when you question though it seems much closer to the human voice when does funny show. because to me it. was or was already at the top of her game by the age of twenty seven performing all over the world she started in moscow cars and gramberg and was living out her parents' tree they wanted to become use it even her father a football player but their dreams were stymied by the up peoples in their home country ukraine. i think we came here in two thousand and four joining the orange

revolution it was someone several countries my parents decided to leave for the future of me and my sister that germany is a great country especially for music my parents couldn't study all make music and they wanted to study but there were no music schools in my city what is the best so they had to give up and start on a music should is about a student who says our friend. here at the go to the morning in hamburg she performs pieces by the georgian composer again your country. it's the instruments rich versatility there really fascinates or. classic classical music is so precise the sound must be focused and beautiful so if you could compare it to the violin rapid bowing on the violin wrap it in a flow on the sax. with jazz.

just into this jazz it's a different feeling you always laid back you come in a bit and i assure you that i remember if you tried at home it's a little like opera singing way you have to have clean classical tone and this is a moment you see. yourself. as who is always testing producing limits or projects combine classical with chavez and improvisation with classical goes back to the beginnings of music and delves into the works of your hands of boston but she thinks he does love the saxophone.

is so universal that his music does you. also from a technical point of view finding the sounds enjoy in a state of improving your musicality and getting into the flow of investment and i think you become a better person when you play but it's a necessity. in twenty sixteen house if i tell you vote was given germany's major classical music award the eco classic interpretation. right now she's performing over germany and we can expect to see and hear much more from her. spring is in full swing now here in the in perth said whether to go by bike to the office that's healthy and also good for the environment however for many people cycling is much more than just getting someone to be a bicycle has become a lifestyle project you can see lots of different bikes on the streets but in
