I am a great art appreciator. I adore all forms of art. Notice I said art appreciator not artist. The closest I come to being an artist is being married to an extremely talent artist and art teacher. The only artistic medium I have even attempted is photography and I feel that I have a decent natural eye for shots.

Additional shares added to my previous shares could grow enough for me to fully realize the dream of taking some more serious photography courses and gain the technical knowledge to compliment a bit of natural talent for the medium I may have.

I have collected numerous types of vintage photography equipment and in addition to digital photography, I would absolutely love bringing some of the more analog forms back out of the shadows. I'm fascinated particularly with tintype, colodian , and wet plate style photography and I would like the chance to follow it down the rabbit hole to become more familiar with the techniques associated with these dying art forms.

Thank you for your consideration and for giving hope to some many new members of our community.
