When a framed team photograph fell of the
wall, a request from the sport club was made asking if it was possible to
restore it. This is what was presented
to me…
Have you ever dropped your mobile phone and
shattered the glass? It’s an “Oh no!”
moment but you resolve to keep the phone anyway. In a similar way, I noted that the photo
could be restored despite the damage the shattered glass had caused. Part of the photo was attached to the glass,
potentially making the damage worse as I attempted to detach it. (It was like
taking a band aid off a wound!)
After scanning and a few hours of editing
the photo, this was the result….
The lesson?
It’s always a good idea to:
1.
Ask a professional framer to
frame your photograph. Your photo will
be air-tight not allowing moisture to come between the glass and the print.
2.
Order a non-reflective glass
which reduces the chance of shattering it.
3.
Display your portrait securely.
