This week's picture is from the 1930's, so I guess it doesn't technically count as having been taken in the last week. I did, however, do the restoration in the last week for my dad for his birthday. It's a photo of my grandmother when she was at most half my age. Mouse over the picture to see the original.

At this size, you can't really see the work I had to do on the restoration. The original photo's emulsion was cracked severely. Here's a detail so you can see for yourself:
