Cairo St. Cafe, Men Playing Board Game and smoking hookah water pipe at the Turkish and Egyptian Tobacco Shop, California Midwinter International Exposition. June 1894 San Francisco, CA. Image restored from shattered 4x5 glass negative.

My passion for photography thrives in the creative process and the opportunity to share an observation. 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, meticulously 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. I love traveling across the United States and this enables me to pursue my passion for creating fine art photography. Visit my web site at www.mkphoto.net
