The Postcard project started nearly a decade ago. Seeking out old postcards from Wandawega Lake Resort, dating from the early 20’s to the 60’s. It became sort of an obsession. Friends would find them on ebay for us. Neighbors would donate to the ever-growing collection of cards featuring Wandawega & surrounding attractions, dating back to the teens. It’s resulted in a great library of images. so, what is the CAMP POSTAL CENTER? Historically, you every hotel and motel lobby would have a postcard center offering up postcards of the local attractions. We imagine that Wandawega Lake Resort was no exception, and…

In a continued effort to stay true to our rule of everything at camp being vintage, historic camp gear –…

One gorgeous couple in tiny 50’s swim gear. One sunny weekend. A teensy airstream trailer. We had so much fun on this shoot for Flea Market Style magazine. I always love working with the amazing Coscarelli– so this recent assignment I got from the magazine was to create a weekend excursion story.
