The Old Dominion is a treasure trove for lovers of US history, beginning with the founding of Jamestown in 1607 and the British Colonial period, extending through the American Revolutionary War and the US Civil War, and finally ending in current modern times in the State of Virginia.

This web site is devoted to photography of historical sites and history-related events principally in Virginia, and using, as possible, vintage stereo, medium-format or other film cameras. The photography is purely amateur in nature, and to date it has been driven purely by personal interest and the happenstance of occasions drawing my family and me to different locales in and around the Commonwealth. Looking forward, however, I would welcome invitations to history-related sites, events, and reenactments in Virginia that I might capture on film and subsequently share with the event organizers and others. Individuals with a keen interest in Virginia and US history are also welcome to contact me about history-theme photo projects that might be pursued using a vintage stereo or medium-format camera in combination with black-and-white or color film, or a modern 3D digital camera.
