I am a retired corporate web designer who still takes an occasional web project. In an earlier life I was a college 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 40 years and I collect a number of things (too many) in addition to photographs and photographic equipment.

We are member of the Maryland Photographic Society and the Daguerreian Society.




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.

    "Photo_history's Flickr photostream is a representation of the cumulative result of a strong, lifelong commitment to collecting the finest and rarest examples of antique images and photography related articles. It is no exaggeration to say that this collection is truly of museum quality, and this knowledgeable collector of the highest professional caliber. You can be certain that each carefully chosen item is sure to be especially interesting, unique, compelling, beautiful, and technically masterful. I have thoroughly enjoyed coming back to this photostream again and again - Photo_history has certainly won my complete admiration, respect, and appreciation, and I can't wait to see what wonderful thing will be posted here next! Also, be sure you don't miss Photo_history's personal website - it is absolutely a must-see."
