PROJECT 52 | WEEK 29: OLD/ANTIQUE

As I wrote this, eating M&Ms, I realize life is back in control. Wedding is over, family is gone and the sound of me typing my keyboard can be heard again! I love  having family around, but leaving abroad, made me get used to my small family, and sure my house sounds a lot different when there are 6 + people inside it. But let’s talk business! TGIF and  time for PROJECT 52! This week’s theme is old/antique and I was debating into getting a picture of some of my vintage props, or perhaps using one of the Golden Gate Bridge shots I took last week, until today, I stepped into a client home for a newborn session and screamed out loud when I saw these babies! A fabulous collection of vintage cameras, including some Pentax, Mamiya, Miranda, Polaroid, Rolleiflex, Kodak, all vintage cameras. Of course, I asked her permission to take few shots thinking about this amazing project I belong to! I have to confess, being a photographer, it made me envy her treasure for a moment!
