Lodi photographer Staci Takach finds her own style, with an edgy and vintage twist

Posted: Friday, August 12, 2011 8:29 am | Updated: 11:55 am, Fri Aug 12, 2011.

Lodi photographer Staci Takach sits on a white and pink Mexican blanket in middle of a meadow in the Lodi Lake Nature Area, one of her favorite local spots. She is surrounded by her collection of cameras, like her 35mm Holga and her favorite, a Brownie Hawkeye with a brand new flash bulb. It’s Takach’s turn to be in front of the camera, but she can’t resist turning the lens on the photographer and sneaking in a few pictures of her own.

Takach, the 26-year-old photographer from Lodi, is lively and fun and has a love for anything vintage — just like her photography.
