As a staunch New Orleans Saints fan, it’s painful to offer any props to the rival Atlanta Falcons, but the aperture-style roof on their new Mercedes Benz Stadium is such a wonder of engineering that we feel compelled to give the Dirty Birds some love.

The accurate colorization of old black-and-white photos involves a combination of artistry, painstaking research, physics and digital technology. And when the effort yields a realistic and vibrant reconstruction of the historical past, the result is quite magical.

Cheryl Dunn’s excellent 2013 documentary about street photography, “Everybody Street,” has been available for rent (or as a purchasable download) on Vimeo for several years now but few know that you can also watch it for free on YouTube.
