I PHOTOGRAPH... signs, buildings, and transportation among other things. I love Americana! You can see my photos here on flickr, mixed in with the occasional postcard, vintage photo or some neat piece of ephemera.

He`s got an eye for the unusual, he experiment with different cameras, he collect old slides and share his thoughts about them with us. illtakeyourphoto is well worth a visit. Take a deep breath and dive in!

photographers who take good individual shots are a dime a dozen. however, photographers who have a focused body of work comprising of many, many great shots that transcend its subject matter and speak to us on a whole new level are extremely rare. illtakeyourphoto falls into the latter group.

He imparts something special to every photo he posts, even if he dug them out of a corner of a thriftstore. Come for the shots, stay for the sensibility.
