In his teens, Jeremy’s love for photography grew by documenting friends skateboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, snowboarding and riding motorcycles. It led him to develop his own photos, make posters, film movies and eventually minor in photography in art school.

During a break from college, his vintage collection started in a flash with the discovery of his dad’s childhood camera, a greenish Sabre 620 (circa 1959) in the basement of his grandmother’s house. Later that day he found his uncle’s old Imperial Mark XII (1961-65) in the basement closet, and in an upstairs drawer, the Kodak 35 (1948). Already owning a few Nikons, he was hooked on these interesting vintage cameras, realizing they not only exist as beautifully designed objects, they serve to capture the memories we make. By the end of the visit, he was given eight cameras including his great grandmother’s Wirgin camera from around 1920. The modest starter collection of eight has since grown into over a hundred still and motion cameras and has become a full-blown obsession of all things camera.

CameraLuv began as a side project to showcase Jeremy's camera-infused art, but has become much more as a popular blog offering photography-related inspiration and resources to thousands of photographers and camera lovers world-wide.
