If you are interested in restoration work for your cherished memories, send your photograph to me via email as a JPG file no less than 300 DPI and no greater than 400 DPI. If you do not have access to a scanner you can have your original photo scanned at one of the large copy stores in your area for a small fee. I do not offer you the option of sending me the original photo via mail because I cannot be held responsible for items once they leave your house or my business. Things get lost in the post all the time.
Once I have the .JPG copy of the photo I will be able to fully assess the amount of work needed to restore the photograph. Once that determination is made I will email you with the estimate and you will have the opportunity to decline or accept the offer. When you accept the estimate I will start working on the restoration. Once the restoration is complete I will send you a small copy of the finished work, via email, for your approval. When you approve of the restoration, please email me the specific number of prints and CDROMs you would like. In turn I will email you with a final cost. For payment I take money orders from BidPay.com (Western Union); as part of their service they email me when payment has been made. I will also accept traditional (paper) money orders. Please note that any restoration paid by paper money order will not be sent to you until the money order is received. Once I receive either email notification of payment or the physical money order, I will have the final print or prints made professionally by a real photo lab on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper, which is designed to last at least 80 years.
If things flow smoothly with email, and electronic money orders are used, the whole process should take 7 to 9 work days from initial email to the final photo(s) being mailed out.
