A look back

I've been feeling nostalgic and put together a short slideshow with a few of the photos I've restored over the years. 

It is only 45 seconds in length. I hope you enjoy it.

Removing Fingerprints & Other Damage

The latest restoration project dates from the late 1960s or early 1970s.

Some of the damage to this photo is caused by the oil left on the photo from fingerprints. There is also fading and additional discoloration.

The before photo below include a close-up of some of the damage.

Calder Dairy & Farm, Back to the 1970s

 Today's post is a little different. 

Several days ago, Calder Dairy and Farm posted a photo on FB of the farm from the 1970s. 

My husband grew up just down the road from Calder's. You can see the farm while looking out what was once my mother-in-law's front window.

John Calder (the owner) and my husband's family have been long time friends. He even came to our wedding.

Because of the long-standing friendship, I saved the 1970s photo and did a little restoration work on it.

Considering it was a low-resolution copy of the photo and not the original, I think it turned out pretty well.

I'd love to get my hands on the original, and any other old photos, to breathe new life into the history of the farm.

It's been a while

Sorry it has been so long since I have shared anything, but my kidney issues have made it difficult for me to spend much time in the studio....
