Many times in life, you never know what you're able to do until you try. We often expect perfection from ourselves the very first time we try something. Little children fall many times when they are learning to walk, but to be successful they have to keep getting up. Learning to play a new musical instrument can be a source of frustration, and even tears. Often the first few notes might not sound like you hope for and it's easy to stop and walk away. We normally don't learn something by just saying "I want to learn to..." So it is with photo restoration. You look at a photo and envision what it should look like once it's finished, but getting there is the challenge. Often it takes trying different tools or looking at the photo with different perspectives to bring the vision to life. This one took looking at it in many different ways before the mental vision matched the picture. This is the great, great grandma of a dear friend and I'm sure she lead an amazing life. She had to be a woman full of dignity, meet Lucille Dickson McCrohan, the before picture.
