RESTORATION: 1920’s Woman in sailor dress with chow and car

This photo was so much fun to restore!  While I love the original “soft focus”  feel of the original sepia image, as always I really want to see the details in my restored versions.  The car was in almost tack sharp focus, with the woman and her chow a bit blurred from slight movement,  which presented a challenge.   I was so surprised after making many adjustments such as adding “contrast, burn, sharpening select edges and converting to black and white,  to find her dress was a fashion forward nautical theme.  You can  see striped bands and the “kercheif” style neckline ending in a knot.

The chow looks like a half grown youngster more interested in what is in the grass than his lady wishing for him to look at the camera!   As for the amazing car….I could use some help here. I would love to know the make and year if possible.  Contact me at [email protected] with any insights or leave your ideas in the comments below!! Thank you

This is another wonderful addition to my CHOWS AND ANTIQUE CARS COLLECTION
