I'm a passionate collector of antiques, antique photos, books, various pieces of art, everything that has a story and I am searching for beauty in everything I see and experience. It's the air that I breathe.

I also love to take photos. Cameras: Canon Powershot SX200 IS, and I just bought my first Nikon, D5300 in December 2014.

All antique photos published by me on flickr belong to my PERSONAL COLLECTION, I invested a lot of time, money and passion in taking, collecting, scanning, categorizing them. I love sharing them with you,

I just ask you NOT TO USE THEM WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. DON'T DISTRIBUTE, BLOG (!!) COPY, SELL, ALTER OR REPRODUCE THEM. THAT INCLUDES DISPLAYING THEM ON OTHER WEBSITES such as BLOGS, FORUMS, etc. Thank you!
