I have a wide range of interests in the antique and collectibles area--constantly acquiring fresh and old collection items. Not a marketer of made to order new age art. Always interested in new finds, artists, and ideas. I enjoy the unschooled but talented and aesthetic artist who can move a person by their work. I believe period photos are a form of folk art and I am interested in acquiring any depiction, daguerreotype, tin type, ambrotype or photographs of the objects I collect.
