1) I'm very keen to spend some time with production companies, museums, institutions, to explain the colorization process, the ethics, the research, why it is so powerful, and guide them on how to better take advantage of it.

I think it's time to have an open conversation and...
2) ... explain to people why this goes beyond "throwing colors around" and using gimmicky apps.

This won't be a "tutorial". I just want to establish a communication line and have a serious conversation about everything that's involved in the process.
3) As someone who has been doing this for a living for 6 years, I think I can help to shed some light.

This won't be a paid thing - I'm just sick of seeing so much misinformation being spread after the recent Vice incident.

Napoleon was a creepy dude. See these "love letters" he wrote to Josephine:

“Adieu, adorable Josephine; one of these nights your door will open with a great noise; as a jealous person, and you will find me on your arms.”
"I don’t love you, not at all; on the contrary I detest you—you’re a naughty, gawky, foolish slut.”

"Josephine, take care! Some fine night, the doors will be broken open and there I'll be."
"There are those four days between the 23rd, and the 26th.; what were you doing that you failed to write to your husband? (...) The day when you say "I love you less", will mark the end of my love and the last day of my life."

Colorized by me: This is probably the only photo of nine reigning kings gathered in the same room ever taken. They were in London for the funeral of King Edward VII - the last time all of the great European monarchs would meet before the First World War.

#OnThisDay in 1910.
Standing, from left to right:

King Haakon VII of Norway, Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, King Manuel II of Portugal, Kaiser Wilhelm II of the German Empire, King George I of Greece and King Albert I of Belgium.
Seated, from left to right: King Alfonso XIII of Spain, King-Emperor George V of the United Kingdom and King Frederick VIII of Denmark.

Evelyn Nesbit was the most sought-after fashion model in America’s Gilded Age.

She was involved in a relationship with railroad scion Harry Kendall Thaw and architect Stanford White, which resulted in Thaw killing White at the rooftop theatre of Madison Square Garden.
The press called the resulting court case the "Trial of the Century", and coverage of these well-known figures was sensational. Nesbit testified that White had befriended her and her mother, but had sexually assaulted her when she was unconscious.
