Aunt Mona

“WHEN WE WERE YOUNG” collection is a nostalgic journey back to the days of innocence. Through the eye of a camera and a precision photographer, Anthony Alden Vines allows the viewer to reminisce our childhood.

Lost Child

Anthony Alden grew up in Toledo, Ohio the youngest from a family of ten, 8 boys, 2 girls.

The art of creativity was passed down to him by his father, the late Clifton Vines (photographer), who exposed him to his prolific creative gifts for documenting the black experience in Toledo, Ohio 1950s and ’60s through portrait photography.

Anthony Alden's diverse repertoire of imagery is inspired solely by his passion to verbalize the contemporary urban black experience. Each photograph echoed the demand for African Americans to be portrayed in a positive light.

A smile, a frown of discontent, first haircut, friendship, and exploration are just some of the precious moments this unique one of a kind, one-of-a-kind exhibit captures.

Bringing a message of peace and hope in today’s troubled world, “WHEN WE WERE YOUNG” will wrap a smile around your face.
