I collect vintage photos. When I am not busy doing that, I like to make collages . If interested, you can find my work for sale in my Etsy shop.

I also love ephemera, found art, junking, collecting useless things, and taking a photo here and there.

Even though all the vintage photos I post here on Flickr are from my personal collection and are not for sale, I do have an online store, Snapatorium Original Vintage Photos and a separate one with different photos on Etsy.

IMPORTANT:
I don't mind if you use my photo(s) for your personal blog or TUMBLR as long as it's in good taste (no vulgarity or for commercial purposes) and the image remains unaltered, but please provide proper credit (ie: From the collection of Snapatorium) AND a link back to my stream on the actual image. If you can't follow this simple request, I will have the image(s) removed and you will be blocked.

If you want to use one of my photos for any other reason than a simple blog post, (such as a book, exhibit, art, etc.) you must get my written permission if I approve of your project. I am likely to support an art or historical project, but most likely will decline commercial ones.

I will block you if you have nothing and/or a handful of outdated photos or screen grabs in your photostream, or if you use this site just to gather images for your Tumblr account. I also block people for various other reasons. If I have blocked you and you feel it was unjustified, send me an email.

    "I am convinced the Swapatorium has a hidden attic full of fabulous images from yesteryear and I can see her poking around up there looking for fabulous treasures to post and share! She has one of the most amazing collections of photos and ephemera that I have encountered. I can only say More! More!"

    Kollage Kid says:

    "What hasn't already been said about the wondrous Swappy? The tap dancing phenomenon- the wizard of the air- the queen of the waves- the empress of the trees. Extraordinairy maker of things and finder of treasures like the Babylonian Pig Whistle, the Flying Gilbert, the multicoloured Flange and the exploding dill pickle? Are there no bounds to her many accomplishments? I think not. She is all powerful and magically gifted and makes a mean rhubarb souffle.
    This is just the tip of the ever growing boiling iceberg that is Swapatorium2. Can't wait for the sequel!"
