Lately, I have been inspired by and heavily relying on some of the wonderful textures to be had via Flickr. I realized that instead of simply taking all of the time, it would be kind to give back a little. So that is what I did.
You surely have seen those who have found an old family photograph and paid to have it “restored” to appear newer, repair scratches, rips, and tears, and to even convert a black & white photograph into something with more color.

Lately I have been working on processing a group of photographs taken in an abandoned home here in Georgia. To make room for development, the old has to be tossed out, leaving a small gem for those interesting in exploration photography of this type.
