Vintage Photo Collection and Online Archives

My extensive photo collection includes photos from the dawn of photography through the present day. I collect photos that strike a strong resonance with me on a psychological or visceral dimension. In addition to hounding antique dealers and flea markets, I've also made a habit of exploring online image archives. When I began serious work as an artist in the early 2000's, I visited libraries to access photo collections. Now, so much of these are available online. But nothing online can equate the smell and touch of a vintage photograph.
