Photography in one form or another has been my career. My interest in photography began in college at the University of Nebraska. I have been a portrait photographer, photographers Assistant, photo retoucher, and photo artist. I've also sold my own black and white oil tinted photographs, and for the past 11 years have been the owner of Photographs & Memories. Based from my shop at 669 S. Pearl Street, Denver, Colorado, I copy, restore, oil tint, and frame vintage photographs. It's a great job talking to folks about the photos they bring in and the memories those photographs inspire.

Silvia (Slegle) Schmitt's black and white architectural hand colored photographs has been represented for 15 years at the Arlene Siegel Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
