Lauren Simkin Berke collects vintage photographs from antique shops and flea markets, using them as inspiration around which to build drawings, paintings, and mixed media pieces. She creates a new one about every weekday; a catalog which became the subject for a gallery show last winter. Her book, To Be Kept began life as the extended catalog for this exhibit, but quickly grew into something much more — a full-blown publication that included an introductory essay, extra notes, additional images, and more. She even started her own printing press around it. A must see for bibliophiles, vintage photo enthusiasts, bookbinders, literary nerds, scrapbookers, and — um, well — just about anybody, to be honest. Head over to her project page for more.
