Comment From Facebook

We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths —- that all of us are created equal —- is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth. From Obama's inaugural address 2013.

About Martin:

I am a photographer with over forty years experience. Currently I am traveling across the United States with my wife as full time RV’rs; this enables me to pursue my passion for creating fine art photography.

I am also dedicated to the preservation and restoration of historic film and glass negatives. The 'vintage' images on my site are 50 to 100 years and older. All the 'vintage' images displayed here are first generation, restored from the 'original' camera negative.

Now that almost all photography is digital, keeping an archive of original camera negatives is a way to preserve the physical connection to our past which exists in the photographic negative.
