    I have a huge fascination with vintage portraits as well as a lot of practice with this under my belt. I've been playing around for a few days now trying to rebuild and expand my restoration portfolio, so if anyone is interested in getting anything restored, feel free to post here and I'll tackle it. Until then, I'll be posting finished projects here. :) IMG_3627.JPG IMG_3628.JPG

    I've got my eye on an Epson flatbed/negative scanner that "repairs" and cleans up scans.

    I hope to buy it soon.

    Thanks! That's my great grandparents, paternal grandfather and his brother. It's the only picture I've seen of my great grandmother and it'd be interesting to have a picture of her without a massive tear in it!
