If you’ve ever perused our instagram feed for strolled by our studio windows, you know that there are a good many older cameras that occupy our space. Some sit prominently in the window shelves while others dot the interior landscape of the studio itself. Some of them actually function and some of them stopped working decades ago but still look pretty. The history of our craft is a fascinating one and part of discovering and learning and honoring that history has been the accumulation and presentation of old cameras in the studio space. It wasn’t until recently though, that we decided to participate in the #throwbackthursday hashtag phenomenon and honor one camera from the collection every week, along with some detailed photographs and a brief history. If you follow our instagram, you’ve probably seen these posts but we thought it important to share a few here on the blog as well. Cheers everyone.

12 years ago when we moved into our Downtown Rogers home, I made a personal project of creating some images of the downtown area for decoration in our house. One of the images that's been sitting in our house for those 12 years is this framed image of 116 E Walnut Street. There was something about the simple doorway, the handwritten street number scotch-taped to the door's window and the mailbox firmly planted in the flowerpot next to the doorway that somehow, made the place interesting to me. To this day, it's still one of my favorites because it hasn't really changed all that much. I'm sure in years to come, it'll be developed into something cool and functional. That mailbox though....that shouldn't change at all.

It's only been a couple of weeks since my trip to Wiser Time, but it seems as if it's been longer. Wiser Time as best as I can describe it, is a name given to a magical place by a magical group of people who find it imperative to disconnect from the fast-paced hustle and bustle of everyday life in order to refresh and recharge. And while there is some debate over the true origin and meaning of the name, most can agree that it directly relates to the physical, mental and spiritual healing qualities that come from intentionally removing oneself civilization and spending time in the great outdoors. Many thanks to the guys who introduced me to this magical place and in doing so, encouraged me to remove myself from everyday life more often.
