Ever since I went antiquing for the first time with my friend Mary, I fell in love. Old postcards in a small woven basket. Cowboy boots with visible wear and tear. Skeleton keys with the mystery of what they open. Endless opportunities can be found and obtained at antique shops and all the history behind a plain object such as a suitcase. I can spend hours just going from one section of the shop to the other--taking in the new decade that I walk into. I recently bought a suitcase from the 1940s and I absolutely love it. I have a smaller makeup suitcase that I have used in earlier photoshoots but this one is bigger, light brown, and has noticable wear. I used it in a shoot a few days after I bought it and cannot wait to buy more. This is Genesis, a senior who I took pictures of about a week ago. I took the pictures in Bishop Arts again and a nearby park. Check out the suitcases!
