I was cleaning through the boxes of items that I kept from my children's childhoods. Each of my children have a basket with their 'first' items. Included is their scan photos. My older daughter's scan photo, was substantially more faded than my younger daughter's. I remember having hers displayed in her early years, until we moved house and then it went in the box.

Looking at them now, I realise that they will continue to fade and so I set about looking at ways of preserving them. I took a photo, without flash of each of them and started working on an artwork version. Now I have them printed, framed and hanging on display, with the original tucked safely away inside a dark box.
