On The Road To Janinealogy
Today, I have the pleasure and privilege to be the Guest Author on Janinealogy, the blog of the Queen Of Restoration, Janine Smith, of Landailyn Research and Restoration. We met on Twitter and found we share a love of old photographs and their history. Janine has the added talent of being a fine portrait artist who uses her many gifts to restore old photographs. Photographs that look as if there is nothing left to save. Janine is the 2008 Photoshop User Award Winner for Photographic Restoration. Thank you, Janine, for this opportunity!
For those who are visiting Shades for the first time let me be your tour guide. Shades centers around the love of old photographs, all things associated with them, and making connections with the families they have departed.
Below you will find a sample of what is offered to readers of Shades. I hope you enjoy the selections!

I too met Janine Smith on Twitter and she is a delight. Perhaps old Perle Mesta here was the one to introduce you? Perle's powers of persuasion are not without merit . .
I can't wait to see your guest post!
