Sometimes I think I should have been born 70 years ago. Computers are great in many ways, but they pushed aside two things I love–hand drafted floor plans and film photography. I was lamenting this to my friend, Phil Bode, a few years ago and said “I just wish I had an old Hasselblad camera so I could play with film again.”
Low and behold, he had one he wanted to sell. Although the thought crossed my mind that it might end up becoming an expensive bookend, I decided to buy the camera anyway. I then came up with a project–to photograph 40 women over 40 years old.
This is a work in progress. The following are my photos along with a personal motto, philosophy, or quote chosen by each woman. If you are interested in being part my project, let me know. I’d love to add you and your words.

For me, it’s a typewriter. I’d want to type a book in one. There’s something about old technology..
Such a nice project. All the best to reaching your goal and beyond. I love the quotes.

Yes! I get it! There is something about old technology. There’s something that feels more real about it somehow.
Thanks for your message. I love my friend’s quotes as well. Each one is so uniquely them.

Yes, ‘real’ describes it best. Welcome, i bet the quotes capture their personalities perfectly with the pictures.
