Pamela Klaffke is a former newspaper and magazine journalist who now works as a novelist and photographer. She is the author of the novels Snapped (2010) and Every Little Thing (February 2011), and the non-fiction book, Spree: A Cultural History of Shopping (2003). She has been chronicling the research and writing process of her newest work, The Mod Girls,  on the blog www.themodgirls.com. Her dreamy, vintage-inspired photographs are shot exclusively with analogue cameras using expired and/or damaged film. Her work has appeared in art publications and advertisements around the globe and prints of her work reside in private collections worldwide. She is currently working on two new series: a second installment of her popular “bestia parvulus (animal child)” series and a photo-adaptation of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood. In the fall of 2010, she will travel to Europe to shoot an ambitious series which incorporates digital video, called The Private Lives of Public Creatures. Pamela is also the founder and chief curator of the Secret Society of Analogue Art, an organization that encourages the creative fusion of analogue and digital communication and media by offering an ongoing series of participatory art projects. She lives in Calgary, Canada with her fiancé, philosopher Gillman Payette, and her daughter.   email: contact@pamelaklaffke.com
