Antique photos and a few new ones

I am fascinated by antique photos. They really bring you back to the way things used to be… they make those stories your grandparents told you real. When I went home for the burial services for my grandfather and to visit family, I grabbed a binder of photos of our family history to put them on cd to preserve them. Some of which need work to restore them. For anyone who hasn’t tried this, it’s a painstaking process to restore it without destroying the integrity of the photo.
