IMAGES:
Scans
are taken from original photographs with an inexpensive
scanner.
Needless to say, these scans lack the sharpness,
emotional
impact, glow and tonalities that the orginals possess.
You
must simply see an original fiber print to appreciate the beauty
that
the scans cannot capture. The only digital alterations made
to
the scans are minor brightness/contrast/color adjustments to
bring
the scanned image as close to the original as possible.
