Billy Minsky's Republic Burlesque Theater on W. 42nd Street in New York City, seen here in 1944. The Republic was Minsky's flagship theater and the capital of burlesque in the United States and the site of many a police raids over the years. Image from 2.5 x 3.5 inch camera 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
