Over 30 Years Experience:

I have personally been repairing damage to photos since the 70’s when (under my father’s guidance) I used paint, ink, paper fibers, glues, all sorts of “scary” methods - whatever means were necessary to repair old photos, sometimes even employing various camera and darkroom tricks.

Love Old Photos - Love PhotoShop:

Thankfully computers came along and I can now relax while restoring old photos as I am no longer directly tampering with the only copy of said image. Since the early 1990’s I have been a daily user of Adobe PhotoShop and my favorite thing to do is fix old photos! In addition to experience with hands-on and computer aided repairs, I am also a photographer and an illustrator and artist -- giving me the critical eye and insight needed to paint and camouflage repairs that are not always easy to do.

Different Levels:

You will see by the samples below (and those on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pages), how some photos get completely restored, while others have been taken only so far... this is in part due to the client’s budget and the time required to repair damage. Also, there are some photos that are so seriously damaged that one can only take things so far and still have it look like an old photo (and not end up with something that looks more like a computerized painting of Great Grandpa when he was two).

Printed samples can be viewed in our lobby. Price estimates available after review of your photo and desired level of repair - please call or email in advance to schedule an appointment with me, B.J.
