75th Anniversary of a Family Owned Service Garage

This is my first custom collage and still one of my favorites. In 2003, my client’s dad’s 50th birthday coincided with the 75th anniversary of their family owned service garage. He was the 3rd generation to run the garage. She supplied me with old photos, newspaper articles and ads. She also asked me to come out to take current photos of the garage. I chose not to do any color correcting of the newspaper to eliminate the yellowing from age. I thought it was the perfect way to show the passage of time.
