Charlie colorized

This photo has been making its rounds on the internet. Whoever colorized it did a nice job, but personally I prefer the original b&w version (below). I have never been a fan of colorizing movie stills or photos of Chaplin (or anyone else for that matter).  I think b&w is beautiful all on its own and personally I find colorizing to be disrespectful to the original photographer. Chaplin himself preferred b&w & when asked about color photography in 1931 he said he could "do without it." I will also point out that the Chaplin family themselves do not approve of colorized photos of Charlie & once asked someone who was posting their "artwork" on Tumblr to please stop.

Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now.
