This is a micro time-capsule of 1930s and early 1940s American pop culture, captured in enhanced and modified images of my uncles "trinket collection".

My uncle was killed in action in the Battle of Midway in World War II when he was still just a teenager - long before I was born. All I ever had of him were my Moms stories, along with this collection of vintage 'trinkets' he'd collected as a young man. Many times, while growing up, I'd sit for hours examining these magical little objects - imagining they were great treasures. And I still feel that way when I look at them today.

The soundtrack to this video is my band Cat On Bass™, playing "Dg's Bass Loops & Grooves" (drum loops by E-Drummer).
