setup follows hundred year old family pictures.
including the plant on the table.
someone who was more into effects and tricks would have done more.
added scratches. dust. torn edges. toning. fading colours.
if it was for a movie, where someone finds this picture on his attic. maybe yes.
for a present picture. no.
why would a photographer degrade a picture.
with things that any person tries to avoid happen to their pictures.
keeping the memory alive.
keep it from melting away.
nothing did we know how appropriate the look from an old family album would be.
only some years later.
