Honest Abe Lincoln

Posted on August 5, 2021 by Joe

I came across this famous photographic portrait of Honest Abe and decided to play with Adobe Photoshop’s new Neural Filters. With the touch of a button and maybe a two second delay, black and white photographs are automatically colorized.

Posted on December 10, 2015 by Joe

I think this is somewhere near Gateway Regional High School late in 1982. I shot this for a photo elective course I was required to take as an illustration major at the Philadelphia College of Art. I think the skeletal … Continue reading →

The Three Graces

Posted on July 22, 2015 by Tina

Another old family photo from my collection. Again, I’m not sure who these ladies are – however, the woman seated in the middle bears a strong resemblance to my father’s sister Viola. What I find interesting about this photo is … Continue reading →

On the Rocks

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Joe_Williams

Here’s another of John Capewell’s glass negatives that I thought I had previously published, but I guess I haven’t. It looks to be John’s brother James George Capewell perched upon the rocks up at what I assume is Niagara Falls.
