Who is Justin Borucki?
Family man first and a native New Yorker, amateur homesteader, artist and crafter obsessed with photography (hence, tintypes), and a maker of music portraits for nearly three decades.
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the majority of my career captured on film. Only one of them hangs in my house and that’s Justin’s.”
-- Michael Kelly
