Pastimes Photography offers a unique
way of "visiting the past" through photography.
Our business offers four distinct, yet related
services.
1.) Vintage Photographs of the Past:
Our area's rich history has produced many wonderful
photographs documenting it's past. We take great pride in restoring
these old photos that we have gotten from the Amador County
Archives, local families and the Library of Congress.
With our careful restoration techniques and attention to maintaining the integrity of the original print, we bring these photos back to life again.
These restored photos are then matted and framed as "vintage art
for modern walls".
Custom framing is available.
2.) Photo Restoration:
We also provide photo restoration service to our customers who
provide their own photographs. If you have an old family photograph in
need of help, we can almost always restore it to its original
quality and provide reprints in almost any size

3.) Old Time Portraits:
Using period costumes of the late 1800's, props, and our
exclusive computer-generated photographic techniques, we will make
it look like you've stepped back in time.
With our unique "special effects" technique, similar to that
used in filmmaking, we will realistically put you and your
party into a fun selection of Old West or Victorian themed
backgrounds.
Whether it's a Saloon, a Wild West town - or a formal Victorian
Portrait Parlor - you can choose from one of our growing number of
backgrounds that you like best.
The final result is a portrait that looks like you've stepped back in time. It's fun, a great value and we do it all while you wait.
4.) Distinctive Greeting Cards and Post Cards created with local vintage photographs.
Living in this area with a rich and colorful history, the past is always with us. Pastimes Photography believes in keeping this past alive through photography.
Please Note:
"Out of the Woods Photos" is now
"Pastimes
Photography".
We've changed our business name to
better reflect our new and enhanced services.
