This is my nephew, who just turned fifty-three years old two weeks ago. The photo is from 1957. I have no idea how it got in such bad shape before I got it.
I replaced the background, cloned out the blue paint spatters, and most of the other yellow stains. Was able to lighten his face with the dodge tool. It's still not perfect by any means, but is is at least tolerable now.
