The photographs are titled and the photographer has provided unique descriptions of many of the instants he captured. some of the "people" among people are well known: Van Cliburn performing in the former Soviet Union; a pensive John Steinbeck; Mikhail Gorbachov; Yevgeniy Yevtushenko; Lev Landau; Boris Yeltsyn; various cosmonauts; Marshal Busyonniy; Averell Harriman, Harrison Salisbury; Marian Anderson; King Mohamed Zahir Shakh of Afganistan; Simone Signoret; Pope John-Paul; to mname a few of those in the book. Many other of the "people" are men, women and children from around the world. These photographs, unique in perspective and mood, have evoked strong emotional responses from nearly everyone who has previewed the work. More on the book ......

FIX IT PLEASE

You undoubtedly have photographs of tremendous historical or sentimental value. The good news is that you are fortunate enough to have these meaningful photos .....The bad news may be that the photographs are in bad shape, for example they may be faded, cracked, stained, and/or torn. They might be nice images but the color is wimpy or the color is inaccurate - for example if they were taken under fluorescent lighting without proper film or filtering.

There is MORE good news, though ... most damage CAN be repaired. Fortunately photo restoration - even from faded slides - is almost always possible.

Check out the five examples of restoration shown below. If you have a photograph that you would like to have restored or repaired, go to the ImageRe: Works page for more information on working with ImageRe: on the restoration.
Remember those great family slides from the 50's? They didn't hold up so well during storage in the cupboard. The photo on the left is how one slide looks now. On the right is the restored image.
There isn't room to show the original as well. This is a photo taken WITH A PANORAMIC CAMERA at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. The negative was gone, but it was possible to get nice prints from the original.
Worlds Fair - 1904
 

Here is an example of a 50 year old photograph. Storage in an album wasn't too good for it - there are scratches and spots. One splotch makes it look like a bird left something on her shoulder. The zigzag edges and lack of centering also detracted from this photo.

First the unwanted marks were removed, and the contrast was improved. The background was expanded to give a more balanced view. The color was altered to a more pleasing tone. I think you will agree that the RESTORED image below is one that could be framed and hung in the family "rogues gallery".
Here are two "before" and "after" examples of restoration. The originals of both images are very small "tintypes". By the way, does anyone recognize this woman in an academic robe or this handsome young man? The originals came from a yard sale in Vermont.
