Yusuf Tolga Ünker ist ein wertvoller Zugewinn für unsere kleine Redaktion. Seine Spezialität ist die Optimierung historischer Fotografien, auch deren nachträgliche Colorierung. Die qualitative Verbesserung erhält dadurch zusätzlich einen durchaus künstlerischen Aspekt. Die Aufarbeitung des einzigen verbliebenen Fotos der von den Nazis 1937 zerstörten Statue Friedrich Ludwig Schröders ist ein solches Arbeitsbeispiel.
