For many years flickr was my second home. I have spent hours a day posting, looking, and commenting on the photostreams as part of a growing community of collectors and lovers of vintage photography. I have taken a few sabbaticals from flickr when changes were made that I felt impacted the usefulness and community that I treasured. I am back to posting and will try again to "get back my flicker groove"!
I am a retired corporate web designer and in an earlier life I was a college photography and art teacher for 20 years. My current obsessions are the history and romance of the Camera Obscura (Latin for Dark Room) and the practice of spirit photography.
My husband of 50+ years and I collect a number of things (too many) in addition to photographs and photographic equipment.
All of the photographs in my photostream were made by my husband or me or are scans or photographs of images and objects we own. Do not use them for any purpose without permission.
