hi all, would anyone like to give john and mary
a makeover for the 100th anniversary of their wedding
on the 10th of january. :) please. the original photo
is what I call sepia,sort of cream and makes some of
the clothes look brown.they both had black hair and blue eyes.
this one is a copy (i think they used a digital camera) I am looking
through my albums for the original but this is all I have for now.
hope the scan is ok.I'd also like to wish you all a very happy new year.

hi Bill, thank you very much,I know the hard work that goes into
the restores and does'nt the lovely vibrant colour really bring the
photo to life.and Bill I love your title of 'country walk'
and to Terry forgot to wish your son a very happy birthday on saturday :).
a little background to the photo,they were my grandparents John and Mary Owens nee Mooney,I was always told this was an engagement photo (1908) so mary would have been aged 20 and john aged 21 or 23,have'nt found his birth or baptism certs yet ,his army papers say born 1885 in Dublin.
and they married and lived in Dublin.I think the photo was either taken
at Dublin zoo or the 'owl photo studio' in mary street.
best wishes

Don't know whats on the ladies shoulder -- pads???
-
hi Phr33k,it looks like the typical type of clothing
for the time.I'm useless at describing the details
but I've always wondered why the camera flash
was reflected off marys right shoulder,that maybe
there was some kind of brooch there but I don't think
shoulder pads would have been in fashion in 1908
and I know mary loved her up to date fashion .button up
boots being her favourite thing at the time too according to
an amusing family story.
thank you
Anne

Hi Anne........I would have loved to restore/colour the original.
Carolyn :)

Oh Carolyn,thats really gorgeous.thank you so much
for your hard work.I do have the original which I posted
on another board on rootschat a long time ago (not
the restoration board) when a kind rootschatter did some
work on it ,although at the time it was a smaller scan.
if its ok to post it again I will do that when I've rescanned
at a higher resolution.as has been said many times on this
board but worth repeating is that the talent you all display
is amazing,
thanks again
Anne
