This is a series of pieces that celebrate and frame vintage images, mostly found tintypes. I am interested in the unknown histories of the people photographed so long ago and rescued from flea markets. Read more about The Four Elements, Il Regalo, Giotto's Angel, Casa Dolce Casa, and Figlio e Padre and Virtue on the blog.
