London Post Officers
03/12/2008 by Woodsy.
Another one of a collection of old shoe-box black and white prints from the family archives. The scratches to this picture proved to difficult (without dedicated too much time) to remove without loosing original detail, so for the sake of presentation I have left this picture untouched. (I may revisit these old black and white pictures in an attempt to clean them further – perhaps when I acquire Photoshop CS4).
Here my great granddad and his work colleague on the job with their errands worth of mail, in those days Post Officers were regarded with high renown and dressed in a much smarter garb. Honestly speaking, if I could walk around dressed like that, and be awarded, on a daily basis, the respect these people were, I would happily sign up.

Stephen & Susan Long (riding hats)
01/12/2008 by Woodsy.

Here we have one of a collection (not all uploaded) of old shoe-box black and white prints from the family archives, not my work, but I have tried my humble best to present a digital copy.
Horses have always been in my family, here is a lovely warm picture of my mother and uncle (brother and sister) with their riding hats on, lovely texture in this picture. Almost unchanged with minor noise removed and a little cropping.

The native dimensions of this photograph matched that of an old tea-card, however for this shot I managed to remove some of the more predominant scratches without loosing original detail. I have little information about this picture apart from its rough date which is around 1950s.

Preoccupied Portrait

Personally I love this quirky shot of my little sister. She portrays a wonderful deep thoughtfulness with a sprinkle of mysteriousness. During my Leicester day trip in August 2008 I stumbled upon a really colourful weathered wall and wondered for quite some time how to best capture it. Thought it best to use it as a nice textured backdrop. Shot at 35mm f7.1 for 1/100second. This shot was originally in colour however I believe it carries more character in grey-scale.
