Okay I admit I have been absent from this site for ages--but recently a lot has changed. Big news is this site will be linked to a new page.
The reason?
First I have met so many great folks as of late, both in Columbus and locally. The Ohio and Erie Towpath has been ripe for photography with the great early spring. Being there, on the path, has opened the door for many new viewers.
It has been rather embarrassing to send new friends here because nothing is fresh since I keep slapping pictures on Facebook instead of here, where they truly belong.
So this is the deal.
I have this site for black and whites, which I love, but there will also be a site for color.
Why?
Two reasons. First I want people to see and enjoy some of my best work.
Secondly I want to start selling more photos. I have blessed by selling numerous photos this past year, now it is time to make the bigger move by selling online.
Why?
Last summer my Canon fell to the kitchen floor taking my camera and best lens off to digital heaven. As hard as I try to save money to pay cash for a new camera, something always comes up to clean out my savings. I live on disability so my camera money comes from rehabing photos for customers and selling my work.
As of today the camera (Canon 60D) and lens will cost $1,195. My savings was $475 last week. Today it is zip. So I will once again look for a grant, but in reality selling will get me there quicker which of course will make me a bit more proud.
Sales and donations can be handled through PayPal.
Give me a few days to set up a new shop and please come back. The coffee pot is always on and the best pie in town is here at Shelly's Cafe.

About Me
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE
A sign you may hang on my door could be that of a photographer. I have been a journalist/photo journalist plus an all around film burner for years. I picked up my first Nikon in 1972 and became an addict in a blink of an eye, or should that be in a click of a shutter.
I am retired from journalism and being a chef/restaraunt owner because I have Multiple Sclerosis. I have decided to spend my energy creating a site for the wonderful world of vintage black and white photography. Most of what you will see is orphaned b&W's--plus numerous pictures I have picked up along the way. Some have come from The Library of Congress's public domain
There will also be a new link by April 2012 for the inner-shooter in me that will never go away. Go there and if you like, you can buy.
I will also accept donations of old photos, slides and negatives. They will find a good home here. Please don't toss old pictures.
