Hot News: Check out our new repro postcards from photos in my personal collection...love to share my treasures!!!

Things change...things stay the same. Cliché’? Maybe, but in the case of vernacular photography, things really have changed in the last few years. Thanks to the artistic quest for expression and the collector’s quest of authenticity, vernacular photo collecting has become vogue.

The digital age has given us the ability to instantaneously capture, print, store, share, and view digital photographs. While no film and no developing is cost effective and efficient, it eliminates the mistakes and the unwanted images. Unwanted or imperfect photos are simply deleted. These unwanted photos are the essence of vernacular photography. They are the real moments – the unstaged settings: people in their unscripted moments, families not posed, settings imperfect. These are what are lost in the digital age of one – touch photo deleting. These moments – these people – remain real today only in the world of vernacular photography.

Vintage photos unlimited possibilities: story starters, front of blank cards, framed for wall, painting inspirations, aceo, collage, themed collections, advertising, avatar, table deco in vintage photo holder, share your photo ideas with me and get a month's free shipping with all purchases.
