These are a bit older I think. THe oldest one is one I am working on now from the early 1920s. This is a sample I just finished from the 1950s. The tops are the original. Lots of dust, scratches, mold and mold damage, faded colors, dye migration. The ones below are the restored version of the same area. they are about 400% crops of the original

A photographer in our city is doing family portraits while outside through a homes picture window. Payment requirements - donating to a charity.

I hope he doesn't use a filter.

Our camera club is limping along via a FB page, and one of the members has just proposed an assignment. We are to photograph an egg. Or eggs. Didn't Weston already do that? Well, it will occupy our minds for a while.

Returning the favour after Canada sent PPE to China earlier. China reported to have sent PPE to other countries including Pakistan.
So there seems to be more evidence of unselfish acts than there is for selfish acts. Well that won't sell any newspapers!

That's very interesting. I didn't know the Canadian government had supplied PPE to China. Where did you read that?

Her is a link to the original post that has the source POST 19035493
Basically he read it here https://www.ctvnews.ca …pment-to-canada-1.4872541

Canada sending PPE to China 100% credible as Justin Trudeau was asked to explain why it was sent and he defended the decision to do so.
Just doing what a decent person would do.
