Today I revisited an old snapshot of my mom that I edited and posted here in 2014. I had found the snapshot in a package of photos sent to me by my aunt two years before. So in 2014, I cleaned up the photo in IPhoto and added some color with Painter, and posted it in her memory on November 2, her birthday. Well, today is also November 2 and I decided to revisit the edited snapshot and give it another try, I uploaded the image to the Prisma app on my phone and tried out filters till I found one that worked. (The filter I chose is called Trendy.) Then I adjusted the contrast, and used iPhoto to increase saturation and re-crop the image. I still like this photo of her as a young woman, and am posting it again to remember her on her birthday. For context, here is a bit of what I said about the snapshot back In 2014: "This morning I looked through some photos that my aunt sent me last year, taken from an album that my mother kept when she was a young woman. This is before she met my dad and it is fun to see pictures of her boyfriends and see what she wore (she loved hats, who knew?) and find out about all the trips she took (mostly by greyhound bus). But the one I liked best was a black and white snapshot of her, wearing a hat, and looking pensive. The photo is labeled "M & M Restaurant - 1940" but I have no idea where this restaurant was or who took this picture. But I do know that she was 25 or 26 at the time." I still don't know where the M & M restaurant is, but I can see my mother even more clearly in this image. Edited in Prisma app with Trendy
