When Australia-based digital artist Jane Long stumbled across a WWI archive on Flickr, it sparked an idea.
Costică Acsinte
Not only did Romanian photographer Costică Acsinte (left) capture wartime moments, he opened his own studio after being discharged.
About 5,000 of his glass-plate negatives now live at the Ialomița County Museum in Romania where a sole volunteer is slowly digitizing them to preserve history.
The photographs weren't kept in the best conditions — but that didn't stop Long from filling in the blanks.

Like these polite sailors about to embark on a sea adventure.
Or this little lady with an ominous friend.
This musician's music attracts even the strangest of creatures.
This little boy is a little gun shy.
This girl's pet does cooler tricks than your pet.
This serene couple doesn't mind being windswept.
And this girl's dress is made of magic.
You can see more of Long's work at her site and Facebook page, and visit the Costică Acsinte archive.
