Photograph - Vintage Bw Photo Scanned In Color
Description
Vintage square snapshot of the Riverboat ride at Disneyland, Anaheim, California, taken by this photographer as an eleven-year-old in 1958. The original photo was scanned in color to preserve the tint. In 2012 it was straightened and given a new white border in the same proportions as the original. In the process of preservation and restoration, dust has been painstakingly removed by hand. It has not been enlarged or upsized.
Keep in mind that old snapshots are full of noise, and can vary in size and proportions. I chose to preserve the noise rather than lose any detail, and to retain the original color rather than convert to black-and-white. (Originally it was a black-and-white image that took on a subtle tint over time.)

Shot with a Kodak film camera and originally printed in black-and-white.

Thank you, Dan, for featuring my "Vintage Disneyland Riverboat Ride 1958" on the homepage of Premium FAA Artists. As the child who shot this picture long ago, I certainly never dreamed it would end up on an artist website. After all, I have a dictionary that gives the definition of "computer" as "one who computes." ;-)

Thank you, Chrisann, for featuring this image in Weekly Fun. I remember taking this picture in 1958, not long after Disneyland opened in California!

How fun! Thank you, James for featuring my "Vintage Disneyland Riverboat Ride 1958" on the homepage of Beauty. I remember taking this picture, but won't tell anyone how old I was at the time. (Just a toddler. ;-)

That could be my mother in the foreground, Connie. I think we went there about the same time. Not bad for an 11-year-old!

Interesting that we were there about the same time. This former eleven-year-old thanks you for your comment!
