This month’s retro photo album is called “Cancun, Jan 11 – Feb 15, 2007.” I used a terrible point-and-shoot camera back then and the pictures are of rather low quality, but I like looking back and seeing what I was trying to capture. I am fascinated by archaeological ruins. I love imagining what life must have beenContinue reading “Cancun”

Goldfield, AZ
This video makes the place look super cheesy, which it is, but it’s admittedly a really a fun place to visit: There’s genuine history to be found here, and the photo opportunities are endless. Photos from this month’s retro photo album titled: Goldfield Feb 14, 2007—back when I went through a heavy sepia phase. I’m notContinue reading “Goldfield, AZ”
Western Horses
“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” -John Muir Photos from this month’s retro photo album titled: Goldfield Feb 14, 2007. My books Memory Road Trip (e-book or paperback) and Time Traveled (e-book or paperback) are both available! You can also find them at most major international book sites.
Goldfield Ghost Town
This month’s retro photo album is titled: Goldfield Feb 14, 2007. Located at the foot of the Superstition Mountains, Goldfield was a boom-and-bust town built on the riches of the Mammoth Mine. The gold vein soon played out, and the city lasted only five years, from 1893 to 1898. The buildings standing there today are allContinue reading “Goldfield Ghost Town”
Our First Trip Together
Selections from this month’s retro photo album titled: Malibu Nov 7, 2006. Malibu was our first trip together. I knew Ryan for all of one month when I took this photo of him: He, in turn, took this photo of me: I’m generally camera-shy and rarely pose for pictures. I feel way more comfortable being behindContinue reading “Our First Trip Together”
Cycladic Statues
Images from this month’s retro photo album titled: Malibu Nov 7, 2006. This statue of a head dates from 3300 to 1100 BCE. I’m drawn to the simplicity of the figure predating modern art by thousands of years. The best-known type of artwork is the full-length female figure with arms folded across the front. Apart fromContinue reading “Cycladic Statues”
Revisiting Old Photos
I love photography. I’ve taken thousands (millions?) of photos over the years, and I only rarely go back and look at them years later. One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to pick one older photo album per month and pick out some favorite images to post on my little blog. Here is my inauguralContinue reading “Revisiting Old Photos”
Compare
No New World city can compete with the architecture of the Old World. The New World just didn’t go through the architecture phases and the body of thoughts that stand behind the buildings that make Europe so great. The strength The New World embodies, however, is natural beauty. The empty vastness that still exists inContinue reading “Compare”
