The history of photography is only about 200 years old and the period in which it was possible to take color images, it is much shorter. However, the color makes us perceive the image we see as more realistic. Fortunately, there are communities of photo enthusiasts who color images in black and white, what makes us emotionally closer to our roots.

It is often difficult to realize how close we are, historical events such as the wedding day of our grandparents or the Second World War. Fortunately, today's digital possibilities glimpses, albeit in a somewhat speculative, our past, believe it or not that was in color. The coloring process is not easy and depends largely coloreador involvement. Lots of colors can be recognized by the subtleties of gray tones, photos in black and white. Another way is to investigate past fashions, the coloration of the places that still exist today and a fairly common sense, for example, makes us understand that the hair color of a person in a historic black and white photo is probably a natural color.

However, keep in mind that an equally important part of the coloring process, is the conjecture about the ancient fashions. Even with access to all information, in theory, you can never be 100% sure of the true colors and nuances that might have been captured in a picture given. However, Coloring a historic photograph, which would otherwise only seen in black and white, is podtía considered as part of a world that has never been seen.

Robert De Niro is often mistaken for a hard ass because of the roles he plays in films, so it’s hard to imagine him with a soft side. But that’s exactly what he shows when opening up about his late, gay father, Robert De Niro Sr.

The 70-year-old actor tells his father’s entire story in an HBO documentary entitled Remembering the Artist that premiers on June 9th. In it, De Niro shares his father’s Matisse-style art and reads aloud from his diaries.

In an interview with Out magazine about the documentary, De Niro breaks down in tears as he recounts his father’s struggles with his sexuality.

“He probably was [conflicted] about his homosexuality, being from that generation. Especially from a small town upstate. I was not aware, much, or it. I wish we had spoken about it more. My mother didn’t want to talk about things in general, and you’re not interested when you’re a certain age,” the actor says.

De Niro himself had no misgivings about coming out on behalf of his dad, saying, “I felt I had to. I felt obligated… I thought about it, of course, but if you’re going to do something, you have to do it all the way. You can’t hide anything.”

Despite not living together, the father and son had a close bond. “We were not the type of father and son who played baseball together, as you can surmise. But we had a connection,” he said.

Watch a trailer for the actor’s moving documentary and watch it in full next month on HBO.

According to these graphics, it's good time management.

Using Mason Currey's book Daily Rituals: How Artists Work - which draws on diaries and letters from the thinkers themselves - designer RJ Andrews has mapped out the comings and goings of some of history's most important figures, right down to the hour.

From Mozart to Freud and Darwin to Dickens, the waking, working and, in some cases, procrastinating of history's greatest minds are laid out for scrutiny.

From Balzac drinking 50 cups of black coffee a day, to Milton spending hours memorising the Bible, the results are not always as you would expect. The variation is also surprising, from Freud's 13 hours of work a day to Mozart's four, there is not, alas, a simple recipe for success.

Even so, people can now mimic the schedule of their intellectual heroes. Who knows, something might rub off.
