Saddleworth Vintage & Handmade  would like to ask What is "Vintage"?  A word or statement that describes the meaning of "Vintage"

Hi Sam

Yes Danielle, my thoughts exactly as I come from a readymade background with craft & design.  Looking to define the meaning of vintage is hard when trying to write about it.  As I always thought it was a period of time, some have narrowed that time down, and some have brought it into retro?  when does it end and begin?  Is vintage a classic? Or a fine wine? No clear definition.  Look forward to your interaction on the subject!

Hi just thought I would add a little something here... Vintage is a big part of my life as it takes a place in my full working career. Being a professional photograph restorer I see the whole spectrum I spend my time taking vintage photographs from a damaged or faded state and bring the magic back so the photo will last for several more generations to come. As lets be honest a photograph is a moment in time frozen. Without photographs and film we would not have a clue how are fore fathers lived. So I think i am a vital part in keeping vintage alive.

Great feedback Sy, you do indeed keep vintage alive.  Can I just add that you will be on the Saddleworth Vintage gadget stand, happy to discuss commission work on restoration?

Indeed I will be... aswell as restoration come talk to me about storing your photographs safely to ensure you get the best out of them.
