The First Time I Saw the Desert
I’d never seen the desert before, but I’ve always wanted to. It seemed like such an intriguing landscape, so different from the dense green rolling hills I was used to. Where palm trees weren’t a strange sight, and cactuses grew naturally. One day I discovered some cheap flights to Las Vegas, and suddenly a week […]
Film in the City
A walk through the city on an early spring evening. The days were finally getting longer, the weather was finally getting warmer. I took my little Argus camera, loaded up with some film and went to explore a newly built walkway, through the once forgotten part of the city. I’ve watched this area for years […]
A Late Autumn Walk
These pictures were taken two years ago, but then got buried in my drafts when I had a bad case of writer’s block and no inspiration. It was around Thanksgiving 2016. My mom was in Europe with her sister. There wasn’t much to do, so we took a walk. I don’t have any pictures from […]
Visiting Family in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery
During my trip to Michigan, I wanted to visit the cemeteries of my relatives. Luckily I unknowingly chose a hotel right in between two main cemeteries where my relatives laid. Unlike the the Southfield Cemetery, the Holy Sepulchre Catholic cemetery was massive and easy to get lost in. It was an icy November day, and […]
Visiting My Family in Southfield Cemetery
The purpose of the Michigan trip last year was to visit family members. Live and Dead. My entire family on both sides is from Detroit Michigan. Almost all of them came straight to Detroit when they entered the country, and never left. There are so many of my relatives and ancestors that I never got […]
Chloride Ghost Town
In north western Arizona, about an hour and a half outside of Las Vegas, is the little almost forgotten town of Chloride. Chloride was once a busy mining town with over 5000 residents, but over the years that number steadily declined to around just a few hundred and Chloride was on it’s way to becoming […]
Unexpected Mushrooms
It had been too long since we last took a walk. Wanting something different we decided on a nature trail in a park north of town. It was a park I had spent many unwanted hours at years ago for home school events I wanted no part of. I hadn’t returned since. But I decided […]
Falls in the Graveyard Fields
I love discovering new places on the blue ridge parkway. Some places are a long and difficult hike to get to, others are just a quick walk down some wooden stairs. The quick walk down the wooden stairs at Graveyard Fields led to a peaceful rocky stream. I would have liked to stay here and […]
