Come Wander Along with Me...

I wander...it is simply what I do.  Since I was a young girl, my parent's tried everything to keep me close to home, going to such  measures as to buy me goats.  Though I loved my goats, my heart still  wandered.  

Growing up in rural New Jersey, I was surrounded by dense woods and long stretches of farm land to fuel my imagination.   I felt at home in the arms of the forest and spent many days laying upon the fragrant mossy soil staring up through the filter of leaves... watching the light dance.  It is these experiences that I work to remember.

In adulthood, I discovered the joy of capturing those precious moments, through my camera's lens.  Though the many years in between my youth and the present, I have enjoyed many wonderful adventures and am currently wandering in another people's land.  For the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of living in Europe and learning to look at life in a very different way.   

Through my images and my wanderings, I hope you will enjoy seeing the world around you... in a new way.

So...I invite you to "Come Wander Along with Me..."

Lately I have been enjoying many of the ancient and Alternative Process’ in Photography, from wet plate to contact prints from medium and large format negatives. Meanwhile I have been completely in love with the simplicity of my iPhone camera. So I started to ask myself how can I perhaps blend the two. So many...

Last weekend, Boston Thek Imagery went on Safari…OK, so not literally but we took our Wet Plate Photography gear and hit the road. It was just a practice run to see if our packing list was correct and to discover what else we might need when in future we travel farther afield. We loaded all...

Being Positive About Negatives

Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 3:19am Posted in Equipment, Experiments, Film

It seems like everyone under the sun has an enlarger out back in their garage that they are happy for you to come pick up, but getting one shipped overseas is tricky.  So in the meanwhile I am keeping my eyes peeled for a medium or large format enlarger and trying my hand at some...
