Roaring Twenties Party and Tintypes.

We had such a great summer preparing for the Roaring Twenties Party at the Crane Estate.  We spent a few weeks afterward in the darkroom insuring that we would get the best tintype for our clients. We are so excited for this event for next year that will be on a Saturday. We loved working with our vintage camera and it brought us back to our grass roots and got us out of the computer chair this summer. If you would like to see more images of this amazing day check out our Facebook page.





We are going further into study of tintype photography this fall and will keep you posted of our adventure.We will be offering in the studio from now on in addition to our other sessions. We are also will be offering tintype at a few events in 2016.
Check out our tintypes gallery.

Dixieland Cruise

Last week I had the pleasure of going to Rowes Warf in Boston before the Greater Boston Vintage Society's  Dixieland Cruise set off. I have been working on a very underground project that will be announced next week to the public.  I was testing this project in the field. I did snap some regular images also. Thank you everyone who posed for me! Checkout the entire album on our FB Page.

2014 Roaring Twenties Lawn Party at Castle Hill on The Crane Estate

Last month we had the pleasure of attending 2014  Roaring Twenties Lawn Party at Castle Hill on The Crane Estate.

The Roaring Twenties Lawn Party is an event presented by Boston Swing Central and The Greater Boston Vintage Society.
  A festival, an experience and was the event of the Summer! The event had: Hot Jazz from Brooklyn's own, Baby Soda Jazz Band, a vintage fair with clothing dealers and a very fine haberdasher, swing and charleston dance lessons and performances, lawn games (croquet & bocce ball), picnicking and antique cars. And general frolicking in the sun.

The Lawn Party harkens back to the Jazz Age, the era in which the Crane Estate mansion at Castle Hill was built. The event will took place on the beautiful Grand Allee, a half-mile long landscaped lawn lined with statuary and hedgerows. It was the perfect setting for an idyllic Sunday afternoon.



I was vending promoting the studios. I had lovely neighbors Gypsy Vintage and Tangerine Boutique.

Such and amazing event and met many new friends. To view more photos from this event check out our Facebook page.



 

Can't wait until Next Year!
