Telling the Vintage photo Story
I remember collecting photos since 1970 when as a student and mom I would ride my bike around Eugene, OR., to garage sales looking for old photos. At the time I was a photo/design student and hand coloring photos that I printed in the darkroom and a natural thing for me was to be drawn to the early photography. I had and still do, a keen interest in contemporary and historic photos and if I had to pick an era, it would be the first 10 years from 1900-1910.
Once I started collecting, the desire has never stopped. I have an extensive collection of glass negatives from around the world and a studio filled to overflowing with albums and single photos.
I truly believe that each photo has a story and sometimes a hidden mystery. I always look at my vintage photos for a long time trying to let the photo speak to me. When it does then it has its story and its title too.
And thus I felt after years of collecting a natural thing was to share them and just decided to turn it into a business. One of my joys is to find customers that love the same imagery as I do, nothing is better than that!
If there is any subject that you collect, email and let me know. I probably have something here for you. Or just write for no reason. I love to hear from you.
Most days you will find me here, listing and researching and when time allows, a bit of painting. My art store with encaustic and watercolor paintings can be found here
