You couldn't make it up........


There are things in life that make you smile that you dare not show it at the time. An elderly relative  asked whether I could do a favour and digitise an old photograph for her.

“No Problem,” I said

She showed me a photo and  said that it was a picture of her sister and brother-in-law taken back in the 70’s. She asked whether I could touch up the photo in any way.

“No Problem,” I said. I explained how I would scan the photo and about digital manipulation.

She looked at the photo for a while and then mentioned that she hated the leather hat that her Brother in Law was wearing. She asked would be possible to remove it?

I said I could but would have to digitally paint in the hair and give a general tidy up. I then asked whether she knew her brother-in-law's hairstyle and hair colour. She looked at me rather quizzically and said
 "Well, you will see that when you remove the hat.”

I did it, I managed it, she might have seen a twitch but I kept on my poker face and successfully hid the smile.
