Just a few favorites from our time here in Asheville π thank you from my whole heart to all the friends who have been helping us make the best of bad luck while our van has been stuck in purgatory these past couple weeks. While this road trip has not entirely been for the faint of heart, it's given us so much gratitude and eternal appreciation for the kindness of others, and we will never take that for granted.
There's still a couple more opportunities to get your natural light tintype taken this weekend before we head back north! While we are entirely excited to be going back home, we will enjoy our time to the fullest TODAY at @hailmaryavl 11-7, and TOMORROW at @fleetwoodsavl for the @ashevillepunkflea 12-5 β¨
I've got good news and I've got bad news...the bad news is our poor van is stuck in the shop for another weekend with engine work ππ the good news is that I'll be popping up for another couple events here in Asheville! If you've missed me while I've been in town, these are the last opportunities to catch me before we head back home to Massachusetts! Don't worry y'all, I'll be back in fall π
First up, THIS SATURDAY I'll be popping up at an absolutely favorite @hailmaryavl for more natural light tintypes and the best sandwiches π and fresh ginger sodas in town! 11-7 for more natural light magic β¨
THIS SUNDAY happy Ether Sunday to all those who celebrate! It'll be my first time vending at @ashevillepunkflea and second time taking tintypes at the glorious @fleetwoodsavl 12-5 π€
4.11 I CANT WAIT to be back in MA for my first event back home in New Bedford @circavintagewear After all these months on the road, it'll fill my heart to see some sweet friends and be back at my favorite vintage clothing store π₯°
4.18 Plymouth Punk Rock Market is sneaking up! I'll be back to take your tintypes during another mall takeover with @plymouth_punk_rock_market These markets are FUN and beautifully curated by @myrocknrollbaby π€
Sign ups for all these events are on my website π link in bio, and see y'all soon!
April is going to be a really fun month y'all! Mark your calendars for April 18th for the next Plymouth Punk Rock Market π€π€ I can't wait to be back amongst this wonderfully curated market (shout out @myrocknrollbaby π€ for bringing this marvelous market to life) I'll be slinging tin from 12-5 for your very own heirloom portraits.
Spots fill fast for this one, so be sure to book on my website! See you soon, MA!
After these past couple months on the road, I am eager to return home for my first event back in Massachusetts, hosted at my absolute favorite vintage clothing store @circavintagewear β¨ you'll be in the right place to find a fresh fit for your photo, surrounded by one of the best curated selections of vintage wear.
Book your tintype time on my website at analogueashley.com or through the link in my bio!
I cannot express how grateful we continue to be for all of the help and kindness we have experienced on the road. For those that participated in my first print sale last month, thank you from the bottom of my heart π§‘
It's felt deeply discouraging to now be experiencing another problem on the road, this time with our starter. 3 days was all it took after we picked Len up in Arizona following his transmission rebuild to be stuck again, this time in Colorado. As we limp our way back home, and as the unexpected expenses pile up, I'd love to offer another mystery print sale.
Regular 8x10 prints are sliding scale 35-50
Dark room 8x10 prints are sliding scale 60-100
After we get back home at the end of March, **Massachusetts only/travel to me** 4x5 tintype portraits are sliding scale 100-150 (message me to schedule a day in April or beyond)
Tomorrow, I will also be announcing a couple tintype pop-ups back in Massachusetts coming up next month. Any and all help and support is entirely appreciated as we get back on our feet (and on our wheels) ππ
Venmo Ashley-Humason, and message me your shipping address or to schedule your tintype portrait session. And thank you. Truly π§‘
California friends! I'm so honored to have a few pieces exhibiting in LA this coming week β¨ it feels astonishing to have my works displayed alongside artists I've admired for so long.
La Luz de Jesus Gallery will be showcasing a curated selection of photography from the beautiful to the strange from March 6th to March 29th. Join in for the opening reception on March 6th from 7pm to 11pm at 4633 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027 (inside of Soapplant Wacko)
The journey so far π§‘β¨ I am truly grateful for these times shared with people I love. Starting our travels with @standhandinhand, ringing in the New Year and taking the first tintypes of the trip with @pentaxjane, seeing sweet family down south, meeting new friends along the way and making memories that'll last a lifetime.
@josephotogden, Len (the van) & I are making our way to a city near you π
Next stops before we head back east: Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington & Hawaii! Definitely reach out to get together, we'll be eager and excited to see more familiar faces along the way, as well as booking for photos, tintypes and pop-ups to help support our next couple months on the road π£οΈ
What a wild & wonderful year it's been; I'll be excited to see where the road takes us. Forever grateful for you @josephotogden β€οΈπ₯ happy anniversary!
Dreaming of the Desert
Darkroom double exposure ~ Self portrait paired with views of Death Valley ποΈ
This was the final image from what will likely be my last season of darkroom classes in Boston. While I've been enjoying the access once a week to a functioning darkroom and a knowledgeable teacher, I've been working on finishing my own basement darkroom that will grant me the ability to dive deeper into printing without a time limit.
β¨THIS WEEKENDβ¨ I'll be releasing some one of a kind darkroom prints to help fund the finishing touches for my darkroom and also our 2026 travels across the country from January-March: back to the desert and beyond πποΈβ°οΈ stay tuned!
