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

In 1978 I borrowed a Hasselblad camera and set out to do some street shooting on Chicago’s State Street. After processing the Tri-X film of this Street Smoking Man, I was dismayed because of the under exposure of the negative. No amount of darkroom magic could give an acceptable print. Fast forward 38 years and with the help of some Photoshop processing, Voilà, a beautiful tone image and some spot color added for good measure.
