A Step Back in Time


...when fans were made in the USA and doorknobs were made of glass...


fan-in-b&w---8x10-wm


This and the following shot were taken at my in-laws' house.
They completely restored their really old home (built in the late 1800s or early 1900s) and they collect antiques here and there. So their home is riddled with charm and stories and history.


the long road




Doorknob-Vintage---8x10--wm

I love this picture.
Love. It.

  3. "...riddled with charm." A photographer's dream! And you did a 'dreamy' job of capturing the charm.

  4. Love that door knob - my house is from the 1930s...when we bought it in the summer of 2009, it still had the original knobs. Is it bad to say that I practically squealed when I saw those babies? ;)
