[Leica] IMG: Old B&W Revisited

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for the kind words, Nathan.

You might be interested in the back story.  I was parked in front of the 
A&J Rubel, Co., a department store where my mother worked as cashier.  
Uncle Abe had passed on, but Jake ran the store in the old way, with 
tight control of the money.  They used trolley baskets from various 
parts of the store to a raised platform along one wall, where my mother 
handled the money and wrapped the packages, which then were sent back 
down to the point of sale.

In the late 1930s, Jake, who never married, managed to get his brother, 
along with his family, from Germany to the U.S.  His brother's son, 
Werner, was about my age and we became friends. After a tour in the 
army, Werner used the GI Bill to get an Engineering degree and ended up 
working with the enclave of German engineers in Huntsville, Alabama.  He 
died a few years ago.

>> Nathan's recent B&W images set me to thinking about older images.  With the tools available today, older scanned images can undergo considerable improvement.  Here is a small town street scene from my home town, shot in 1952 with my Leica IIIa and 50/3.5 Elmar.  Processed with LR and PS with help from Focus Magic and Neat image.
