Photo Restoration in Foreign Languages

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

The guy who runs a photo retouching and photo restoration company came for another stay. We like it when visitors come back…it means we didn’t scare them off the first time, so we will get another chance!

I asked him what was up in the photo restoration business. He said that many baby boomers are discovering drawers full of old, damaged photographs from their childhoods (or earlier). He said this brings a constant stream of new, and returning, customers.

He said that his company has recently created some versions of their website in foreign languages. For example:
Danish
German
Greek
Spanish
Hebrew
Polish
Portuguese
Romanian
Afrikaans
Czech
French
Italian
He figures that there must be people in all those nations who have lots of old, scratched, faded photos that need restoration.

I asked him what he will do when somebody actually sends in an order written in Romanian or Greek. He scratched his head and walked away.
