[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 446054, member: 13090"] I recently visited family back in Kansas City and wound up rescuing dozens and dozens of old family photos from highly uncertain fates. I just love photos this old, the patina, the formality of the setting... No one else in the immediate family seemed interested in preserving these old photos so I'm happy to do it. These photos are of my maternal grandparent's, circa 1929; shortly before their wedding in 1930. Both photos have been slightly retouched in PS (Healing Brush to the rescue!) and a Levels Adjustment layer was applied to help with the contrast. Oh, and credit to the original photographer, Ruth Gross, of Kansas City, Missouri. I just love the elegance of these portraits... Such an era!
