Rescuing vintage imagery from the landfills of memory, one image at a time...

Interested in making friends local to the SF Bay area, with similar interests in all things vintage (paper, books, cars, signs, etc.) for little jaunts.

NOTE: Much time and effort goes into collecting, photographing, scanning, editing, uploading, adding descriptions to these images, etc. Rather than directly reposting images from my stream to your flickr account (NO!!!!!!), please FAVORITE images that you especially like, print them for personal home enjoyment, or use the flickr Blog This feature to add them to your blog, complete with links back to the original and attribution. I'd really appreciate it. Asking permission wins you major points, and keeps me in the mood to share more images with you!!

My contacts have the rights to view (and print) my images at all sizes. I only add people as contacts who have images to share, or that I know personally. Seems fair.

Although I appreciate invites to add my photo to group pools, and awards are nice, please refrain from adding animated or large graphics to my comments... Blinky and ginormous images take away from the flow of conversation...

A lot of my book and record photos come from my volunteer work for the Friends of the Palo Alto Library, a non-profit group that raises money for the local library system. I used to run the Bargain Room, which tends to be full of antiquated, unique, and otherwise pulp-licious finds.
