Derek Withey is 87 years old, but he still surfs the 'net. His grandson, Steven Withey, found a scan of a Royal Navy photo of the sailor during World War II on the computer and asked redditors at /r/picrequests if they could help restore it. Many did, and Withey presented his grandfather with several versions, including a framed copy of the best one. You can read the whole story and see each photograph at with-tech. Link -via Boing Boing
I love restoring old photographs like that. And colorising makes things so much more "real". Job well done!
