Another view of the iconic green NBC building at Sunset Blvd. and Vine Street in Hollywood. A 1940 Lincoln Continental V-12 convertible dominates the foreground. A Southern Comfort billboard is seen on the right, and the Palladium and CBS Studios with KNX Radio can be seen in the distance.
The black and white photograph is deconstructed and reimagined as a living color composition by award-winning digital artist Melvin Hale. Hale discovered this talent in May 2006, initially focusing on colorizing exquisite vintage black and white postcard street scenes, which he collects. From there he has moved on to portraits and other historic subjects.
