In this unique album fusing railroad photography with art, "The Very Best of Colorized Railroad Images: Southeastern Steam and Early Diesels" showcases dozens of stunning color renditions of original black & white railroad images by such well-known "golden era" photographers as J. Parker Lamb, David Salter, and Frank Ardrey.
Known for his photo-realistic colorizations of original back & white photos, digital color artist Tom Alderman has contributed a selection of his very best colorized images for the album, including scenes from the Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, Southern Railway, Central of Georgia, Atlanta & West Point, Gulf, Mobile & Ohio, Frisco, and Illinois Central railroads.
Tom's colorized versions, which he labels "pseudochomes," rival Kodachrome slide film for realistic color detail. Each image is printed full page in landscape format, together with a black & white image and a descriptive caption appearing opposite. The introduction includes a step-by-step description of Tom's colorizing process using digital brushes, pencils, and other tools to produce remarkably detailed color images.
The 144-page hardcover album is beautifully printed on coated gloss paper, bound in a deluxe cloth cover with dust jacket. The signed limited edition of 300 copies is planned for publication in August and will retail for $69.00. A limited number of albums are available for pre-order at a discounted price of $49.00, a savings of $20 per copy.
