Here’s What Happens When You Instagram Vintage 1960s Photos

    Ever wonder what the past would look like if people had a tool like Instagram back in the 1960s? If as a child you ever asked your parents or grandparents why the world wasn’t in color yet when they were kids, then 10 years from now you’ll relate when your kids ask you why the world was so many different filter shades. We tried our best to “improve” on these classic, “normal” old photos of 29 cities from around the world and the results definitely varied, leaning more towards “ugh” than “awesome!”
