Some time ago I was asked to restore a small photo of Neville's
father who was a scout in the early 1900s in Wellington. The photo was quite small and faded and was taken in Hay Street, Oriental Bay.
I restored the photo and printed it
at a larger size. I was able to enlarge this photo because the original image was quite
sharp and I can scan and print photos at a high resolution. The resulting print showed a lot of the
detail not obvious in the original.
After looking at the print, Neville was surprised to notice an
officer's ranking shoulder of his father's uniform. He said he never realised his father had
obtained that rank as it was not obvious in the original photo.
