I just can’t get enough of vintage camera gear.  This is the Revere Eight Model 99 8mm camera.  I picked this up at a rummage sale in the neighborhood a few weeks ago for $2.  I’m not sure if it still works well and honestly, it really doesn’t matter.  I bought it for how it looks rather than how it works.  There are times I wish they still made them like this.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the high tech, digital cameras of today.  But, wow, vintage gear like this is just so cool.

Perhaps a whole series of retro gear portraits is in order.  I now have several finished photographs, including this one.  (See them here, here, here, and here.)   Maybe even a book.  Who knows?  Stay tuned…

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
