I am a photographer who loves everything vintage! I use antiques, old family photos, retro clothing & Toys in much of my Photography . I am very drawn to history and what came before. There is a beauty in the frayed, the worn out, netting, tulle, discarded old remnants and other nostalgic items that bring back memories . I have studied black and white as well as Color Darkroom my first time around in college 22 years ago. I worked in the medical field for 14 years and now am back finishing up my A.F.A. in Photography at Grand Rapids Community College. I am now embracing all that Digital photography has to offer!
