I COLLECT... photos, slides, home movies, postcards, travel brochures. Sometimes I will post some slides at Box of Slides.
I ALSO Sell. Check out my ETSY.
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.
I leave very few words when commenting, and do most of my photo searching through other people's favorites.
Some of the flickr groups I help administrate.

"illtakeyourphoto! is my Flickr mentor. He was the first person that made me realize that other people were interested in taking pictures of old businesses, vintage neon signs, and mid-century modern architecture and design. Once he became my first Flickr contact, I was introduced to many other like-minded people. I've learned much from him and continue to do so."

"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!"3rd October, 2006

compact collection says:
"he's pretty alright. he finds lots of photos and paper whenever we go anywhere. it drives me nuts sometimes to wait around while he looks through boxes PIECE by PIECE. But the problem is he always finds great stuff. So we end up taking it home and then look through it or I go back through the stuff later and remember that he's a pretty good finder and it's nice when he shares. :)"

"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."11th September, 2005

"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."
