There is a circus where Gladiator games were fought, and a classic Roman amphitheater with columns and statues still standing. Not to mention the typical historic Spanish style streets, narrow and filled with people – although it’s…

    Here are some shots of a handful of my antique cameras. First is the Kodak Colorburst 50, Kodaks experimental foray into the world of instant film. I believe they were eventually sued by Polaroid and discontinued the line. I thought it appropriate for that one to be in color. Next is the Brownie Target Six-16,…

    So Daphy and I went to Spain this past week. We started off in Gibraltar, where we hiked all over the rock for an entire day and saw all sorts of historic military tunnels and installations dating back to the 1700s. Also monkeys. I’m not a big fan of having wild monkeys all over the…

    Here is a fairly large gallery of images from found film, taken during WWII. They were developed by The Rescued Film Project. Now, normally when you see these galleries, they are images of things happening in Europe, where the fighting was taking place; pictures of destroyed street corners, blown-up equipment, etc. These, however, show what was…

    As if Dennis Hopper wasn’t already practically the epitome of the word “cool”, here is a gallery of his photographic work to enjoy. Dennis’ “counterculture cred” allowed him to get into some unique situations for a photographer. He perfectly captured images of all aspects of life – fairly straightforward street scenes, bullfighting, and lots of…
