Album Page - Michael Jackson, new finds.

Back in June of 2009 there was a page of laserfax photographs presented on LOST GALLERY:
ALBUM PAGE - MICHAEL JACKSON.

These outmoded photographs from the early 1990's were rescued from a dumpster behind a small town newspaper. The staff was cleaning out the files, switching over to more modern methods of receiving and storing news photographs.

This year, five more turned up from the pile of a couple hundred of these yellowing, medium quality photographs.

At the original posting, a thoughtful discussion evolved about what it takes to be dubbed an “Icon”. See it HERE.

Some of the yellowing was digitally removed from the
photograph on the right, just to show how badly these have aged.

Laserfax photographs were never meant to be permanent or long lasting.

Enhancement - Looking for Lost Details - December 2011

For some, an old photograph loses its charm when "restored" to modern day clarity with all the age spots removed. Some photographs however, benefit greatly from just a nudge of enhancement. An improved contrast or the reversal of the yellowing brings out details that otherwise would have been missed and lost forever.

To please both camps of those of us who rescue old photographs, here are both the originals and the enhanced of just a few of the latest additions to Lost Gallery.
