Doctored

Often wonder of the reasons why I am so drawn to all that is vintage, whether it be furniture, clothes, music, film and of course photography. Ignoring the inherent nostalgic element, the craftmanship; 'they don't make them like they used to ' etc... I have been thinking another major reason could lie in the lack of technologies to doctor things. So now all that is handmade has this instant attraction to me. The art of the craft, the labour and time that it takes to produce things of quality....
Nothing doctored, just the real deal.
