Fresh off Meta, I like to travel and take photos. It's time to be thoughtful and leave a physical fingerprint, not just digital consumption. I'm building a photographic story on Substack(free) at lostinamerica.com.

Newish here, so maybe a mini intro.
Amateur photographer, primarily trying to make sense of the world. I have a passion for vehicle-based travel and sling oysters for my real job.

I'm building a long-form photo project on Substack and would appreciate a follow there. It's free. LostInAmerica.com

Sorry, no. Donald Trump and Republicans, Republican voters did it. It hangs on all of em. And then also the Democrats for doing absolutely fuck-all to be in opposition.

Town Hall Wedding.

In difficult times, the smallest acts of defiance, like moving ahead with life, seem to be so much more important.

When I grabbed the camera with a half roll left, I swear it was loaded with Portra. Spent a great rainy walk capturing evocative images of fallen cherry blossoms. Blanketing a bright blue jeep, or against a neon yellow crossing sign.

Color rendering of HP5 is garbage.

What should be bright pink fallen cherry blossoms against a metal flake blue jeep looks like bird-crap. The color rendering of Milford HP5 is garbage. 😉

Very cool to see the re-discivery of hand painted billboards.

Feeling small.

Revisited the 'Oculus' and World Trade. Thinking about where we are now.

Not sure that trading 20+ years of eroded civic norms, hate, ICE, TSA, Patriot Act etc in exchange for a (beautiful)luxury retail mall and a (chintzy) beer garden.

The street murals of Baja California and Baja California Sur, Mexico are so wonderful.

Mountains might be a stretch, but it is all relative. A twisty uphill road over the cerros of Baja- feels mountainous in a small-engine vintage VW!

Had a spontaneous adventure with some truly dynamic oyster farmers in La Paz Mexico to see their farm in the unique Magdalena Bay, with a side quest to visit the gray whales in their nearby breeding lagoon.

If you find yourself in La Paz, visit Oyster House on Allende street.

Can't recall if I've posted this before but might be my favorite #urbangaze photo.

Detroit

For the new #Urbangaze #photography theme from #EastCoastKin

A futuristic view of Detroit, today. A 'People Mover ' train high above the sidewalks against a bright sky and buildings. Contrast to the ruins and urbex imagery we see more often.
