Title: Ancient Photos revisited
Post by: grandpawrichard on January 06, 2011, 06:17:11 PM: I was going through our old photo albums today, scanning them and then took them into Photoshop to to see if I could bring them back to somewhat decent so that I can save them onto a DVD.

That got me in a dangerous mode :yike: :bdid:: I was thinking which means "working without any tools" :bdid:. That brings me to the thought of this thread.

I know you all have them, so let's see a few of old photos of yourself. I'll start off:

Believe it or not, we were on a float trip down the river and we fed ourselves by killing rabbits or what ever else we could shoot or catch on a rod and reel. Life was Great back then and much less complicated. :)

Post by: grandpawrichard on January 08, 2011, 10:50:35 AM: Here is another old photo that I had to work on last night. I had to really crop the heck out of it and clean up so spots on the horse. The paper is completely deteriorating from age and I think it somehow got wet or damp through the years:

I hope no one is offended but I enjoy working on old photos. It's kind of fun to create and recreate what something really may have looked like.

Sadly it has been gone for about 40 years now! :( The engine and running gear were not factory when I got rid of the car. I stuck the running gear out of a wrecked Corvette in it. :yike: Complete 427 V8, Tranny, and rear end, plus lead in the frame to keep it on the road. :yike:

When I got married we had to get rid of the car because we couldn't afford the gas and insurance on it. :( I had a lead foot and racked up way to many tickets with it. :( The gal that bought it had it 4 days before she got in a bad wreck and totaled it. :'( :'(
