Just for the sake of amazement, I want to show 3 sample raw scans (the rest of them are just as damaged) of what Yoc had to start with, in restoring life & readability for the #14 issue of Peter Wheat:
And of course, it's just as amazing that OtherEric saw the potential of the issue and invested the time and money to share it with the rest of us.
I don't know that I deserve that much credit for seeing the "potential" of this issue. At best, I've seen just how rare and good the series is in general. Mostly I was just hoping for better interiors than the cover, which didn't pan out. I can't thank Yoc and Thom enough for their recovery work!
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
I certainly appreciate the chance to see the “before” and “after” on these pages.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say about the"befores" is OOG! But isn't it amazing what exists below the surface, waiting all these years to be excavated!
