Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has been in Lawton the last week and half. The Westbrook family has a father who was paralyzed in Iraq. Also a son who was paralyzed in a car accident. Their old home was demolished by a Ft. Sill tank. A new 4,000 square foot home was built to acommodate two week chairs. The eposide will air April 15th.

Left to Right: -- Preston who spend the entire week in Lawton working on the home. -- The Westbrook family going into the home for the first time. -- Ed went down the entire line of specators signing everything handed to him. -- Ty riding in with the calvary. -- Move that Bus! (you wouldn't believe how many times the crowd said that, and the number of times it was filmed).

Flashback: Old Pictures vs Negatives

Negatives have it hands down over printed photos. I had scanned in a number of photo albums. Pictures had faded over time, cracked, faded, missing pieces. Scanning in the negatives you find new colors or missing details. Details around the picture that were not there in the printed photo. Negatives also provide sharpen pictures than the original printed photos.
