Now, all these photos had been damaged by water, submerged in salt water, covered in bacteria, in sewage, sometimes even in oil, all of which over time is going to continue to damage them, so hand-cleaning them was a huge part of the project.
Sve ove fotografije oštetila je voda, bile su uronjene u slanu vodu, prekrivene bakterijama, kanalizacijskom vodom, ponekad čak i uljem, a sve to i dalje će ih oštećivati pa je ručno čišćenje bilo ogroman dio projekta.
