Details of the Past

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Whenever my brother, sister, and I get together, we often take out a box of old family photos and three of our most powerful magnifying glasses.  What fun it is to look for all the finite detail in our mother’s kitchen or on the Thanksgiving table 40 years ago at our Aunt Theresa’s country home.  It makes me realize that when you look at the past, the small things tell much of the story.  I think that’s why I enjoy all the canvases we make from vintage photos.  So many of the testimonials thank us for pulling out all those fine and often faded details that mean so much. 

Aliyah had us create a wonderful canvas of her parents. Her testimonial reminded us of how our expertise and commitment to customer service can make a big difference in the lives of our customers. “My brother and I dug up one of the few wedding photos of my parents. We wanted to give a canvas to them on their 25th anniversary. The photo was old, terribly aged, and of poor quality. This one was really a challenge.  Customer service contacted us multiple times regarding the photo and asked what we hoped to accomplish on our modest budget. Everything went smoothly. And all of the representatives I spoke with were extremely kind and considerate. And the canvas was beautiful! It actually brought tears to my parents’ eyes! They were so impressed that you caught every detail, things that were barely visible in the original photograph. Thank you so much!”

And then there’s Glenda, who sent us a spectacular 1903 vintage photo of her grandparents. She wanted to share it at the 83rd annual family reunion.  She told us it was a hit and generated plenty of discussion about their family history.  When I look at the canvas, Glenda, I can certainly see why.  It is a wonderful family heirloom!  Mom

A Special Effect

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Question from Carilyn:  I have a picture of a baby and would like to get a canvas made of it.  Is there anyway I could get it in black and white but keep the hat in color? I have seen this done in other pictures but do not know how to do it. Thanks!

Answer from Tom:  Carilyn, thanks for the great question about that special effect.  We would love to take a look at your photo and talk to you about your idea, because it certainly is possible.  Our goal is to produce what you want.  We have a great team that works with those sorts of special effects.  You can click on live chat on our website or call our toll free customer service line, and we will answer all your questions.
