AI technology has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, it's capable of breathing new life into old photos and even resurrecting some less than perfect shots. This is an AI enhanced class photo from my 1970 kindergarten class that I first posted some years ago in it's original form. The difference is quite dramatic, as it focuses and sharpens facial details that were previously obscured.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately folks, this blog is not abandoned, just on a bit of a hiatus. I've been dealing with cancer and chemo the last six months, a lot of days I couldn't even get out of bed. Finally starting to feel a bit better, and I hope to be scanning and posting more regularly in the next couple of months. See you soon!
