Susan Bock
Susan Bock is a photographer that I met this weekend at the Neptune Festival. Her work consists of taking old, historic photographs and hand tinting them with oil. She's from Gum Spring, VA and graduated from VCU. She has had multiple shows, even one in Richmond.
She's a pretty cool lady and really takes pride in what she does. She also takes original photographs herself, but mostly enjoys the hand tinting process and diving arm deep into the local history of Virginia.

I don't think I've ever encountered an artist who mainly hand-tints old photographs--very cool that she's so passionate about history that her work consists of bringing life to old documents. It seems like it'd be a pretty meditative process, too. I might just try it...
