Going through my Mother's Artefacts, her life story collections, we came across an old box, in it were a vast collection of Glass Negatives. Looking at them against a light I could just about see people photos, there were so many of them, fragile glass rectangles, 12cm by 4cm, approximately. I did not know what to do with. I spoke to a photographer friend Michal Kulazinski a pro, and told him about this find and how I could get these developed. He gave me the idea on how to process it at home. Get a clear transparency paper place it on top of the glass negative and place it onto a bright window then take a photo of it and use Photoshop to invert it. And BINGO at first attempt I managed to reproduce what had been taken around 1923. See collection to follow.
