About Ginny

An antiques dealer and freelance writer for over thirty years, Ginny first began using a camera to take photographs to illustrate articles that she wrote and for ads for antiques that she had for sale. Over time she lost interest in the practical side of photography and became intrigued with creative image making using a camera and digital equipment.

Since 2003 she has been creating images that are photographic in style but are created without a camera. These images are called scanograms. The images that she creates are real representations of objects that appear to be doing impossible things.

Ginny offers a class at the Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA) called “The Online Artist” in which she teaches artists how the internet can benefit them as artists. Ginny is a Past President of the Art Association. She is the Association's Publicity Chairperson and designs and maintains their website at lcaaonline.org.

At her studio at 114 W. Orange St. in downtown Lancaster, where she is found rarely, she offers a selection of sadly remaindered but nicely discounted Fine Art Photography Books. The books range from monographs to history to novels to essays. The books are offered also through her eBay store: Imajgin Antiques Photography Books. To view a partial list of photography books in her inventory, click the menu item titled "List of books in inventory" in the side bar.

Ginny and her husband, Jim Maxwell, deal in antiques including antique photography. If interested in purchasing a photograph that you've seen on the site, please inquire by email or call on the phone at (717) 464-5572.
