Speaking of Ford emblems.... I am concerned about the one I did for you. One
of the photos I printed years ago is in my basement, and not in the light,
but it has faded considerably. I haven't noticed this about other pictures I
have printed, but this one is on the same paper. Is your emblem fading?
Every time I look at the picture, I worry about yours. What's happening?
