The guy in this wedding photo is a widower at 94 years old. My buddy wants to print and frame it for him, before he dies.
But it sucks. It's blurry and low-res. It will print like crap. Plus, it has a big defect.
My skills are minimal. I couldn't sharpen it and ugly-erased the defect. I can't invent resolution. Plus, this is not my area.
Unsharp masks, healing, clone tool... limits with me.
If anyone thinks they can make it work at some decent printed size, let me know how much and I'll pass it on.

Public Safety Canada recently published a document that described anti-Zionism wholly as a form of antisemitism. Pro-Israel lobby organizations have been asking Canada to conflate these terms for years, to shut down debate about Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people.
We must push back against this statement. We know that it is completely legitimate to oppose Zionism, which is the political ideology behind the creation of the state of Israel. Like all nationalist ideologies rooted in colonialism, it is not simply benign. Zionism is experienced by Palestinians as dispossession and oppression, due to the historic planned mass ethnic cleansing of historic Palestine by Zionist forces, and Israel’s ongoing crimes of occupation, apartheid, and genocide.
Anti-Zionism is a legitimate form of expression against concrete injustices against the Palestinian people. We cannot allow our government to silence these perspectives.

There is an appointed time for everything,
and a time for every thing under the heavens.
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to tear down, and a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;
a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace.

Always a good-un. Ecclesiastes 3:1

@nprofile1q... No, when I looked a couple of years ago, they didn't demand CW.
I'm going to charge it up and take out the manual and play.
I'm sure there won't be much, if any, traffic ham-wise.
I've been living here 30 odd years and I've only met 3 hams and I'm pretty sure two of them are dead...
Maybe I can hear some aviation or logging trucks and taxi cabs.
