Since the warm weather has been in full heat here in Florida, I just haven't been able to get outside and shoot.

Author: Aly's Vintage Camera Alley
I love vintage cameras and photography. It started out as a way to feel closer to my father after he passed away when I was 11 years old. I bought my first 35mm Canon Rebel. Then it became my own passion. Now as an adult I love the mechanics, aesthetics and look given by a vintage camera.
When I was 21 I was diagnosed with a severe case of Fistulized Crohn’s Disease and my life was changed forever. It has severely limited what I can do in my day to day life, especially with my photography.
My hope is that through this blog and through my YouTube channel I can not only share ideas and knowledge with others, but also encourage others with disabilities and limitations to keep going with their hobby with vintage cameras.
