This is the first photo I ever restored a Digital Photography class. [Click on it to see a larger version.] Learning Photoshop is a complicated process. I tried to restore a photo of me and my sister Nancy taken when we were very young, in a brand new red wagon. This is the damaged photo -- I am on the left.
I worked on restoring this photo a couple of years after Nancy died. Restoring it was an act of love and remembrance. As I repaired the lines and scratches on this old Polaroid black and white, I felt a peace and calm, as if my soul was being healed in this act of love.
Losing a sister is hard. Knowing she is with her Lord helps ease the pain. Repairing this photo allowed me to open my heart to be repaired as well. I'll post the repaired photo on the next blog.
