Then and now...

Ok, this is fun! On the left is an iconic American photo by Photographer Jeff Brouws, http://www.jeffbrouws.com/ , in 1993 of the Capri Motel's sign in Joplin, Missouri, while traveling the old Rout 66...

...on the right is a photo I made this past Sunday while passing through Joplin on my way back home from my Dad's house...

...I hope to go by there on my next trip in the evening and try and do an exact update, if the thing is still working. The hotel is going through repairs from this past April's devastating tornado that cut a HUGE 1/2 mile wide swath through the Southwestern Missouri town.

So, you came back from vacation and your digital photos
didn't quite turn out the way you thought they would?

 Or maybe you decided to save money and take the kiddos school
or graduation photos yourself and they need a little 'tweeking' to make them look more professional

Wrong exposure? Forgot the flash? Hair in your face? Want something, or someone, removed?
Skin blemishes removed? Maybe a few pounds shed? (shhhh, our secret)

or maybe you just want something "fancy schmancy" from your photos...
