OK, this is an experiment, so bear with me. This could blow up, peter out to nothing, or actually be kinda cool (which is my personal prediction).
I've chose pretty much randomly one of the archive photos. I haven't gone back to check and see who donated it, but whoever it was can act as both client and restorer.
Here's the idea:
Look at the photo. Don't open it in your image editor and analyze it, just look. Look closely.
Now, tell us, as a restorer, what do you see? What's wrong with the photo? What's right? What's damaged? What's salvageable? What would you recommend to the client?
Look at this photo with your restorers eye, as if it was in your hand and not on a computer screen. Together we'll deconstruct the analysis process, build a composite description, and (hopefully) give us all something to think about the next time we start a new restoration.
