Does this count as photography?

I have been doing photo restoration for many years. Started when I was owner/co-owner of a photography business. One before and after example here. More in Flickr Album.

I find this so relaxing/rewarding, but it is time consuming. The thought of bringing a part of history back to life that was destined for the garbage… Currently scanning, restoring, adding info such as names/dates and storing on digital media. Sometimes printing photos on archival paper with archival inks.
The only editing software I have is PS Elements 2.0 (from 2002), but seems to work well. Was used to full feature PS, but my newer computer is not compatible with the 2012 version I have. Go figure that the ancient PS Elements works.

After

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

I've done a few myself, and agree about the time consuming part. Tools for repairing have become much better, but for a good result it is still a lot of zoomed-in detail.

Old photographs can bring on special memories
I gave the eulogy for the passing of my Mom/

She died October 2017
Yesterday--- March 30th
she would have turned 90 years old.
Happy Birthday Mom!

As to the eulogy and old photographs
This is how I ended the eulogy

Mostly Mom had happy hallucinations. But there were some bad occurrences.
When some of those hallucinations got overwhelming it seriously broke my heart.
A couple of times I would rest my finger on the temple of her forehead -- ever so lightly.
She would then close her eyes and drift to sleep.
Get some respite from bad things.

She’d ask me. What do they mean, Eddie?
Like all us-- I just tried to comfort her.
Then she would say-- the mind is a funny thing.
She said that a lot

Now it just happy images Mom.
I know Mom is at the lavender bush.
That was a bush that was on the property of her child hood home in Michigan.

--She had received a black & white photo a couple years ago. Sent to her by her cousin.
She hadn’t seen that photo in decades probably taken in 1934.--

In the photo she is a little girl standing by the lavenders.
Just cute innocent photo.

She showed me that photo a couple times.
Spoke glowing of the beautiful colors when the lavenders hues bloomed.
She explained it to me quite wistfully & it was a happy time.

I know that IS where she is
now.

But, as you say, it is really time consuming and there are so many more to do.....
