- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
My name is Amy and I'm excited to get acclimated to this site! I'm very much into photography, however was never really formally trained in the skill. (A few years ago, I paid a local professional for a few sessions but he wanted to take "fancy" photos of me... so I stopped seeing him. lol)
I self teach myself and I preserver. My favorite lens is my macro.
I am working on a photo project now and have been for the past several months. I inherited a collection of amazing Antique photographs from all around the world. They belonged to my father and while he was going through his cancer treatments we went through the 300+ photos together, recording information in a notebook. Sadly, he passed away (cancer sux!). Now, 5 years later I pulled them out again and started a personal website to display his collection. www.travelbugantiques.com
(I certainly wish he could see it.... he would have gotten a "kick" out of it)
Many of the photographs date back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. Some of the photographs were taken and marked by well known photographers from that period. I created a little "studio" in my home and took photographs of each photo. It took me months to complete it... plus resizing them all in Photoshop, plugging all information in an excel spreadsheet and uploading to the site. Big project but it means a lot to me.
I would love to travel the world and take a new set of photos... to create a "then and now" segment... lack of funds though.. haha. Therefore, I'm trying to connect with people from around the world who are already living near some of the locations or maybe planning a vacation to a featured location in the collection. Weird though I find it hard to connectÂ… any suggestions???
Well, that was a lot to read... Enjoy the day everyone!!!!!!!! Amy
