Hello!

The main reason for my making this blog is for me to share some of the photos that I have restored. I genuinely enjoy doing it, even if some of the photos might take a while to fix up.

Most photos that I have on here are my own, but a few I have done have been asked by other people to fix up and color.

Please feel free to email me at LangstonPhotoRestoration@yahoo.com if you would like me to restore some photos for you! I do it for free for now. Don't be shy! You'll be doing me the favor, I find this to be fun.

I hope you enjoy looking at some of my work. To me, taking an old photograph and fixing the scratches, removing to dust and even adding color is like bringing that moment in time back to life again. (It's especially fun to listen to Frank Sinatra and other musicians that the person or people in the photograph might have listened to back then!)

Lorking, Beales & Clarke

This is a photo of my grandfather and his two sisters, their husbands and children, and my great grandmother. The colors aren't nearly as vivid as the photo of my great uncle I posted earlier, but that would be due to the contrast again. Lucky for me, the (Photo Manipulation Program that I use) offers a way to heighten and lower the contrast of a photo, making it a bit easier for me to work with some pictures.
But yes, from left to right in the back is my beautiful great Aunty Wendy Lorking, her ex husband Albert Beales, my grandfather Bruce Lorking, my great grandmother Kate Iris Mote, and my great Aunty Linda Lorking and her husband John Clarke. Sitting on the floor are Mark Beales and Angela Clarke. This photo was taken in early 1962; I'm terribly fond of it, and you'll probably start noticing a theme of blue backgrounds with me. It just looks the most realistic and natural in my opinion.
