THE OFFICE OF IMAGE ARCHAEOLOGY

Hello Folks, a few years ago I created this website to share the vintage and antique photographs and film that I preserve. I had to learn quite a lot to fashion even this mediocre website. While learning to do this I also had to learn video editing and photoshop and so many other things. All of this to say that I have forgotten pretty much all that I learned and what you see for now is what you get. I might also mention that my priorities have changed and while I have terabytes of material to share I have not the time. Today my priority is motion picture film. You can see some of the amazing 1200 or so historical films that I have uploaded to my Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/1957GVmjr. I can promise you will find something you like. Meanwhile if you would like to help keep this going, I have the material if you have the time and knowledge or would like to make a donation can be reached at the email address at the bottom of this page.

PHOTOS OF THE MONTH!

The following images this month are variations of two photos, before and after restoration. The first image was taken at Astoria Oregon in 1895 and features two of the Cities Fireman from the period. Phil Hadden on the left and Sidney Crispen on the right. The second image was taken about 1925 of the mobile Pinter’s Candy Wagon. The average time required to restore these images was about 8 hours. In the case of the first photo I had to rebuild an all but missing leg on one horse because the photo had been torn in half as well as clean up thousands of nicks, scrapes and scratches. The second image was almost as bad with a myriad of cracks in the photographs elusion.
