Restoring Family History
Pictures are often tossed inside of a box, envelope, album or worse, free floating in a drawer or in a pile up in the attic.

Portrait in Charcoal
A client came to us with two mid 1800′s charcoal portraits of members his family. Obviously the hands of time had gotten a hold of the paper and done some serious damage to the original drawings. Because of the delicate nature of these particular prints, we used digital capture as opposed to scanning to minimize...
Polish Fotograficzny
A client brought us this cabinet card from Poland of her Grandmother to get restored. The Cabinet card was the style of photograph which was universally adopted for photographic portraiture in 1870.

Below you will find the...

Tore up
” Tore up from the floor up” is a saying used to describe how much of a good time you had, which usually involves alcohol. These fellas were obviously celebrating and rightfully so, but i can’t say if they got tore up or not. What I can say is, the picture that was brought to...
Restoring a Ripped Photo
We encounter all types of issues when dealing with photo restoration. As photographs age, they like many other things, begin to break down over time and become very delicate and brittle, usually resulting in rips, cracks and tears.
