Reproductions

frazzled



This is a photo I found on the internet and which I reproduced by painting.

Here is my rendition of the photo of the ship above. You will have to click on it to enlarge it to see it I think.




Though I love doing it, I don't often reproduce or retouch photos. But in this case I did and also here in this redo of a photo of Mrs. Glanz a Jewish holocaust victim who touched my heart so much. Her photo was part of an exposition of personal photos of concentration camp victims at Yeshiva University in New York City.


Here is the original very damaged in its original sepia tones.

You can click on them to enlarge them to their real sizes.



here is my painting of Mrs. Hilda Glanz.

I did several other redos of photos of holocaust victims also, such as a wedding photo of a young couple that was very weathered and didnt do them justice anymore.

She looked so happy in the photo with her little dogs and then she was killed and for what?

I suppose I try to honor their memory in this way.

Well I just thought I would share them with you.

Sometimes when I surf the web and see people who hate their photos, I redo them. I rarely give them to the person.. usually delete them after as I don't wish anyone to think I am intruding.
