Alex Liao has been my trusted partner for 14 years in a HUGE family project to preserve high quality images of historical family photos, slides, negatives, letters, journals, and documents, many 100-150 years old, as well as 8mm and 16mm films, VHS, audio recordings, and even artwork. He can repair nicks and tears, remove acid damage, restore faded color, and bring light back into old images darkened with age. With his restorations, I look at these photos of my ancestors and I feel as if I am in the room with them! He is as committed to this project as any family member! He has advised me at every stage on how to organize my collections, and how we can best work together. Alex is a perfectionist, and to support that, his equipment and software far exceed what I believe anyone can do at home. But it's the person he is that ultimately guarantees the end result. He sets high standards for himself for quality of work. He handles the materials with care. He is careful in all his procedures. He is knowledgeable in his explanations. He is clear about what he will do, and he does what he says, always within the time he has promised. We deeply appreciate Alex for all he's doing to help us get this done! read more
