Magic Time Machine







   
LOVE the new scanner I got last night! It's a magic machine, rescuing old and over-exposed negatives, slides, and photographs from the depths of time, making decades-old images look like they were taken days ago!

Forgotten People Series

acrylic and toner transfer on paper


This is the first painting in a series called Forgotten People, which I did a few years ago and will feature occasionally. Using scans of old photographs bought at an out-of-town antique shop, I was fascinated by their strong faces and period clothes. I created a name for each person, wished to respect their dignity, and wondered about their life story.
