A couple weeks ago, my parents said they found a black and white photograph from when I was 1 or 2 years old. They showed it to me. The photo was very badly faded, curled, and had numerous scratches and other blemishes. I asked if I could take it and scan it and they said sure.

I’m no professional image processor by any means, but I think I did a decent job (with the help of my friend The GIMP).

I believe the photo was taken in a field by our house. My sister is shown sitting on “Dotty.” My brother is standing behind with our mother. My dad is holding me.
