i mean the irish company cutting my father one day so suddenly i was a student and i wanted to build a life for myself. but suddenly life became alex kind sob. providing insights global news that matters g.w. made for mines. grades to have you on board again some fantastic photos to the list this has what's coming up that today so. colorful a british artist gives a black and white soldiers in uganda. introducing a dannielle in the spanish capital not to.

arms classical as ukrainian or was there some place almost at some folk. we did us today so with that back in time and the past photos were only in black and white spots jordan law it's images things some added to it is ice to them it is in color to black and white photos has been around for a long time but with today's technology the bit is. can add a new level of. is that just books the paper machine coloring the past is the perfect truth. the eiffel tower wasn't always grey 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 with a splash of color and it shows us so just by the taj mahal. under speaker of perhaps the most famous native american sitting bull is now available in color to.

these old photos have had color added to them retroactively. the person behind the digital reconstructions 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 but you only learn about in school 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 as of inspiration it contains an estimated five million black and white photos gleaned 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 recognize. elements 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 and 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 the original setting he sure this photo must have been taken here sixty five years ago directly on trafalgar square and. finding the right location also helps him recreate the colors

. 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 in the fog in the small 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 make his digital palette. colorization is painstaking work the trickier pictures can take him several weeks. there are more than a hundred different layers of color in this photo we'll then.

when you 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 as the fit but background atmosphere or you might have lighting or something that changes the color because you know color often changes when materials with lighting conditions and so forth jordan has come arised several hundred shows has its 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 both or to call historical research is you want to try and eliminate as much of the guesswork possible and so a good goal for me 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 photos back to life in the oldest rest of and there's a printer the book team this ok did in the spanish capital market it opened and seventeen twenty five tastes changed a lot over the decades so how could a restaurant survive for so many you met i went to find out what's so special about . madrid the famous place on line or squares almost four hundred years old

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 some 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 do you know the team that means the nephew of fourteen in spanish on the teams where the original owners of this establishment words at first were. and 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 gonzalez 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 boat the oldest restaurant in the world for very specific reasons that is that they must be given the same name and be working at the same place i've worked since the beginning we are completely in. 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. whatever. it is so tell me about the specialty of

this house we've been. special to the houses roast suckling pig. which in your very traditional dish and we prepare it in this oven so this is a very special welcome because it dates back to the seventeen twenty five it's an original we all are growing in. just over. 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 sure. sprays are used maybe by. center for the face of the bridge and some to link old buildings and proceed to the old city madrid the first. arriving construction workers are

back. stairs it's time for lunch traditional roast second pig is of course on the menu served behind a long time you have your son chance 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 is your story from easier 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 there are still keeping 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 where johan. 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 you see 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 in 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 seal said to you about combines the saxophone was clever pick a music 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
