Old Family Photo

The photo above is an old family photo of my Grandmother Shirley and other family members. As you can see in the bottom picture I removed the cracks in the picture and reconstructed where it needed it.

Iraqi Sunset


A fiery sunset one evening here in wonderful Iraq.

Grandmother Shirley

Here is a photo of my Grandmother Shirley with her parents, my Great Grandparents. This one, I simply just gave it some color and brought it to life a little.

Grandma Shirley & Grandpa RC

The photo up above of my Grandmother Shirley and Grandfather RC, is one that I remember growing up with. They are the world, sort to speak, to my mother. The picture was framed and some how got moisture in between the glass and picture, the picture became stuck to the frame, making removing the glass impossible without tearing the picture. So, in order for me to edit this photo, I had to scan the glass with the picture. Below is the result of my editing.

Grandfather, Great Uncle & Great Aunt

The photo above is of my Grandfather R.C. and his brother Bobby and his sister Linda. I was asked to see if there was anything that I could do to this photo. Below is what I came up with. Again, reconstruction is hard to come up with.

My Great Grandmother Ruby

This is an old family photo that I came across and was sad at the condition. It's a picture of my Great Grandmother Ruby in her younger days. I remember wishing that it was in better condition when I first seen it. Imagine me getting bored, and so I started messing around with it, trying to "repair" it.


















Here is what I ended up with after I messed around with the picture for a day or two. I even added some color as you can see. I'm sure it could have been a lot better, but I am just beginning. Reconstructing missing pieces is way hard.

Getting Started

This is a blog where I can post my photography and show off my editing skills. Here, I hope to learn the hard, but fair and truth of what people really think about my work. This could possibly lead to me starting some type of business in this field.
