For our Far Hills friends:
Some pictures from our church. And yes, that's me in the first one.
One way to show size and scale of landscape or architecture in your photographs is to include a familiar object in the shot. So here I am....and here's our church.....

1942 Redo
This is one of the more challenging projects I've done. While there is always the temptation to make the "old" look "new again", I intentionally keep much of the original color and texture. I like the aged look - the patina that come with time. I'm having to learn to stop and declare it "good enough". The finished product is still "good enough" to make me smile. Must have done the same for my client. He ordered additional prints of all the photographs I restored for him.

Presentation Counts
For this client, I created a folder from watercolor paper, silk ribbon, and traditional photo corners. This gave him an acid-free, yet attractive means of presenting his restored photographs to his family. Thanks to Katy, my "Creative Bookbinding" instructor at the Memphis College of Art, who taught us to tear art papers to size. This creates a delightful, soft edge to a finished project.

1940's Restored
These pictures were taken in the early 1940's and as you can see, there has been extensive damage. This one was torn across the middle, the two halves taped together with clear tape - the end visible on the face of the photograph. In addition, the studio's colorization had, over time, bled and faded. An upcoming family reunion, along with just a little luck, led the owner of these photographs to me. It was a delight to restore this lovely lady....Edward, I hope you have a wonderful time at your reunion!
