Restoration - Enhancement - Glamorization - I can fix any photo for personal or business use! I do more than 'fix' photos --- I bring your memories back to life! After many years, I am so thrilled to have found a way to combine my creative side, my technical and logical side, and help others! As an Army Brat, I didn't have a hometown or life-long school/childhood friends like most people do. We mo

ved 12 times in 18 years, and the longest we lived anywhere was 2 years. (The first time my husband and I lived in a place for 3 years, I thought I would go crazy!)

While I loved moving to new places, meeting new friends, and going to new schools, it was always hard to work on those assignments that involved family or family history. I rarely had contact with our extended family --- on both sides. It wasn't until I got older and talking to people my age that I realized I had no real concept of "hometown" and growing up with cousins, aunts, and uncles. We visited relatives every chance we got, but it could be 4 - 10 (or more) years between visits. I've always loved looking through the family photo albums that my mom and dad had put together, and when I would see some torn, faded, or creased photos and I would feel sad that a piece of "our" history was "ruined". I know it is silly, but my love for photographs is in my DNA and I become very sentimental when I see people selling their family photos on Antique Roadshow. Even if you don't know who the person is, someone at some point may! I learned how to fix photos while working as a layout artist on a magazine and enjoyed it so much that I started working on some of the damaged family photos that had been passed down to me. I found that not only do I enjoy returning photos to their original condition, but that each photograph tells a story -- unique to that setting and to the people in the photo. Understanding that moment captured on film and applying those feelings to the restoration efforts can make all the difference between a satisfactory restoration and an excellent restoration. My heartfelt promise to you: When you turn over “Mom’s” photo to me, I will treat it with great love and respect. I will treat it as if it were my own treasured memento.

I love the sunset backlit clouds … the color wasn’t quite right, so of course I had to fix it!

Last night about 830p, looking west as some clouds started gathering. Sadly, no rain at our house!

I watched an episode of the tv show, "American Pickers.” For those of you unfamiliar with the show, two dudes named Mike and Frank travel the country looking for antiques and collectibles. Spurred on by tips from Danielle, the cool gal who I suspect really runs the place, they climb into rodent infested attics, packed barns, and other places where angels fear to tread in the hopes of finding something of value and not getting tetanus.

The episode I watched found the boys in a Portland clock shop owned by a man named John. And holy smokes, what a shop it was. So. Many. Clocks. And not just clocks, beautiful clocks-clocks that doubled as works of art. Clocks made with great precision; clocks that have stood the test of time. (Pun intended)

And during the Episode, Mike (my favorite picker) had a short monologue.

Mike: “Nowadays, unfortunately, we live in a throw-away society. The things that we’re buying right now don’t become family heirlooms because of they way they’re made. And the way we view them.
You know, when you go to a big box store and you buy a clock to hang on the wall, a kitchen clock or something, and it’s got a battery in the back of it, is THAT gonna become a family heirloom?
Probably not.
The price-points are a lot lower, and the craftsmanship is not there.
But John is a craftsman and he’s very good at what he does, so the people who collect clocks or that have family heirlooms that are clocks, THAT is his customer.
Someone that TRULY CARES about that clock hanging on the wall.”

Mike, buddy, you spoke my heart.

See, to my mind, that battery operated clock you buy at the box store is a lot like digital files. It runs for a few years, but before long, you end up tossing it. It was MADE to be thrown away. Or in the case of digital files, you won’t be able to find them or open them, so it’s pretty much the same as throwing them away. I mean, no one is going to say, “Hey, where’s the link to Grandma’s baby picture gallery?”

Remember: digital files don’t become heirlooms.

But you know what does? Printed photographs.

Don’t let your memories fall victim to a throw-away society. Print what you want to preserve.

So very true! I have a whole dedicated to family photos, mostly of my kids and they are now in their 40s ... their face when they come in and see the photos are still there, priceless!

Wow....really rather speechless!

Photographer Vadim Trunov has had close encounters with squirrels in his career, but these photos of squirrels shooting photos of each other and of birds are probably the most captivating he took
