Small changes…

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

This is the original Polaroid image taken in December 1961 with my dad’s Polaroid Pathfinder 110 medium format camera (which I still have). I enhanced the original and did something that was impossible before, had the two of us standing together! AI did make me a tad taller in the changed image, but overall, I like the changes.

The airplane is a Republic RC-3 Seabee. A rather unique post-WWII all-metal plane.

The original was only slightly enhanced for clarity.
How about a touch of color? My dad told me to do something instead of just standing still, so I grabbed the rope for this dramatic action shot.
Mom and I are standing together after all these years.

I don’t have an issue with using AI to help an image as long as it stays faithful to the original.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

My mom, Mary, was photographed by my dad, Paul, while traveling along the PCH in late 1961. Pictured is my Aunt Helen’s Ford Galaxy 500 that she lent us for our trip to San Francisco and Yosemite NP. I believe Helen was living in Thousand Oaks, SoCal, at that time. It was a fantastic trip that I’ll never forget. I was likely climbing some rocks or on the beach when he took the picture.

Some improvements were added to the original.

Ah yes, I bet almost everyone has seen one or both of these classics at some point in their lives. These were part of an earlier collection we had of vintage Polaroid and Kodak cameras.
