About sharing your images and stories:
My books are all about sharing. The space I have in each book is limited by the publisher to 128 pages. So I do my best to share with my readers the most amazing images I can find.

Many of the best images do not come from "official" sources, such as newspaper files or historical societies. Most come from everyday folks in the community. Folks who remember what the place and people used to be like, and are willing and eager to share their "everyday treasures" from the past.

If you think your photo isn't historical, please think again. My books reflect the everyday life of Harford County and its people. Catching the train. Celebrating birthdays and holidays. Being in school. Workplace activities. Home and kitchen. All the varieties of life in Harford County as seen through the camera lens from the mid-1800s to today.
