Photo restoration from Panama

I had the absolute pleasure to work with Carlos on a very heartfelt project for his father.

Carlos called me this Spring and asked for my help with restoring this old photo of a bridge in Panama. His family is from Panama City, and recently Carlos’ father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He wanted to restore and frame a print for his father to help remind him of a familiar place filled with memories from the past. I knew immediately I could help him bring a piece of family history back to life.

Here’s the before and after from this project.

Original scan; note the tape marks, water spots and sun damage.

After retouching; keeping the sepia tone from over the years.

Thank you, Carlos, for allowing me to help restore this special family memory for your father.
