Books, and what's in store for the The Colour of Time newsletter
More content that will make you think (or cringe)
Hey everyone,
I hope you all had a great start and are looking forward to what the rest of the year brings!
As we embark on this new year, I am happy to share that my top priority for 2023 will be to build and grow our newsletter, bringing you exclusive content and insights that I hope will inspire, inform, entertain, make you laugh, and even make you cringe a little bit once in a while (in a good way, of course!).
I'm excited to provide even more substantial content for our paying subscribers, including timelapse videos, tutorials and personal feedback, while also making sure our free subscribers (who I appreciate so much) are well taken care of. More regular updates are also in the plans, with occasional breaks when I'm involved in larger, more time-consuming commissioned projects (as is currently the case).
Speaking of which, did you know that you can commission me to colorize your family photos? I would love to work with you to make your memories even more special.
Last year, I was involved in a series of great projects, and new ones are starting to take shape this year. I'm very much looking forward to sharing more details about them with readers as soon as I can. So subscribe and stay tuned!
Too many books, said no one ever
Although I can't reveal yet everything about all the recent projects I've been working on, I'd love to share with you one in particular. It's a book called "Histoires de Guerre", written by Mamytwink (this is our second collaboration, the first one can be found here).
The photo on the cover was colorized by me, as well as a couple of others that can be found inside.
‘From the German worker who, alone, fomented the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler to the British gangster who tricked the Nazi secret services to become one of the most important double agents of the war, passing through the meeting tragedy of the lovers of Auschwitz, here is the story of four unsung heroes whose extraordinary destiny is nevertheless unparalleled in history.
Why did this woman and these men remain unknown? Why have these people, driven by infinite courage, unconditional love, a strong spirit of resistance, been forgotten?’
And speaking about books, here's a fantastic one that I received from Penguin a while ago - one that speaks very dearly to my heart:
In Chromorama, Italian graphic designer Riccardo Falcinelli takes readers on an intriguing and very interesting journey through the history of color, analyzing and exploring its impact on modern society. With over four hundred illustrations throughout the pages, the book provides ample examples of the ways color has shaped and influenced art, culture, human emotions and behavior, and beyond.
Falcinelli's expertise on the subject is clear, and his insights into the evolution of our perception of color are fascinating. I highly recommend it.

Part of 3 of the “history of photography” series
Before I go, I also wanted to let you know that the third part of my history of photography series will be coming out in the next few days. I've been working hard on this, and I can't wait to share it with you all. If you haven't had a chance to check out the first two parts, be sure to do so, and let me know what you think.
Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to connecting with you all soon.
Marina, thanks and congratulations.
