Utah Photo Restoration Day
Just a Beehive State of Mind
We watched four Brownie girl scouts get their pictures taken with "The Man Who Passed the Olympic Torch to Tom Cruise". We mingled amongst 10-12 Daughters of the American Revolution "DAR" with more pins and medals on their dresses than decorated war vets. We were accompanied by some industry professionals and their Andy Warhol-haircut photographer. This was our wait for Governor Olene Walker to meet with us today.
I got to play governor for 2 seconds before she joined us. I trust it's the closest I'll get to being the governor of a desert state.
Governor Walker was the first one into the room, she stepped to the podium, and after greeting us, read the words of the proclamation, hit the gavel, and the deed was done. Utah will celebrate "Historical Photograph Restoration Day" on October 12th, 2004.
The purpose of the day isn't just to build awareness in preserving or repairing damaged photos, but to give a good excuse to photo restorers to provide service to the communtiy. Hollywood Fotofix will provide fifteen photo restorations as a service to the Utah State Historical Society. Other photo retailers will be handing out "How to Take Care of Your Photos" sheets, etc.
There are many people that love to restore photos, but they don't make money at it, and that isn't the point to them. It's taking a puzzle of a messed up photo and fixing it and giving it to someone who it really matters to. If this describes you, why not offer to restore photos for your local historical society?
