Kristen’s boss had said there were some cameras in the self-storage when he asked her to clear out its contents last December. That was quite the understatement, she found out, though it paid off handsomely.

The tenant had died and left behind boxes stacked from floor to ceiling, and Kristen’s employer—a Boston-based property owner—had hired her to free up the space, saying she could keep the contents if it paid for the labor. After she and her husband discovered just how many cameras were in there—ranging from vintage to antique, many in mint condition—they effectually became custodians of a camera museum. Some indeed!
