Historic Site Restoration - Part
1
This is part 1 of a series of articles
on perserving historic landmarks through the use of
digital photography.
Since 2004, we have been working with
site managers, owners and developers to capture and
preserve our heritage through digital photography and
art.
Preservation of Historic Sites
through Artwork
The purpose of our work is to present a vision of the
past through photography and artwork. This combination
merges historical fact with mood and presence. This
is a powerful combination that invokes the emotions
as well as records the place.
 |
A simple example
is the preservation of a turn of the century outdoor
lamp fixture.
Several modern day components
detract from this image, one of them is the litter
next to the base of the pole, the other in the
picnic table.
|
By converting the
image to sepia tone, removing both of these distrations,
and a adding a glow to the lamp, we create a soft
glowing image that has feeling and emotion.
