Old guy I came across in an antique shop.

This was a postcard I found in an antique store of someone perhaps long gone. Photos made into postcards seemed to have been be a common practice in days gone by, there were heaps of these personalised postcards. This one being my favourite.

I touched up the browning and oxidized photo with Photoshop only using contrast, saturation and sharpen features....no airbrushes .Now he can live on, utilising the wonders of the www in an old dusty blog rather than an old dusty shoebox in someone's shed.

Click the above for more detail, the pinstripes, fob watch, carefully polished shoes and other small details seem to have survived the ravages of time.
