Too many people focus on the new, shiny gadgets and skyscrapers. But I love vintage things, antiques. There’s a rich beauty in older things, they have a longer story to tell. Whether it be good experiences or painful memories, older buildings, furniture, and even people are far more interesting. They have witnessed the changing of the times; they possess a knowledge very few of us have. I believe they have the greatest things to offer the world: a story.
I love downtowns. It doesn’t matter the city, just give me a downtown so I can window shop and take pictures. I feel empowered with my camera, like I am the interviewer, and I am able to capture just a moment of the stories downtown has to offer. I went this weekend during the golden hour. Taking the road less traveled by, I walked through alley ways and behind crumbling brick buildings. The magic of vintage things comes in the wonder of it all, how so many broken stories are left up to the imagination. It’s beautiful, really. And you can find it in the most unusual places.
My photography project. Our foundation.
