I'm drawn to images that evoke a feeling of nostalgia in me. I look at this place a remember the excitement I felt as a kid going with my dad into some new place while on a weekend drive. Everything seemed new and exciting.
Now I look at them and remember a simpler life. What's weird is that given the chance today between a place that looks like that and a brand spanking shiny and new 7-11 store---I probably would pull into the latter.
Anyways, I could look at pictures like this all day long...
I have been photographing for more than 50 years first working as supervisor for yearbook and college newspaper. Later I headed the photography department for the News Service at UTAustin. In 1979, I became a Dobie-Paisano Fellow and began to follow a career in freelance and doing my own personal work. My wife's career pulled us out of Texas for the east coast finally winding up in central Massachusetts. Now in my 79th year, I teach both digital and wet darkroom at a small liberal arts university in Worcester, MA.
I shoot these cameras and formats:
----Note: --
I have given up on film. I now have only digital cameras -- the Canon 6D, and a Pentax 645D medium format digital.
