i collect bobbleheads and vintage cameras and i LOVE OLD music- we're talking dinah washington, bing crosby, glenn miller, billie holiday, josphine baker... i'm an amateur photographer who's slightly addicted to flickr. i've always been blessed in artistic ways and once i found the medium of film (and later digital), i had found my passion. as a very nostalgic person, i found that i could capture the emotion that i was feeling at the moment, preserving it for myself forever.

history:
