A Year in Photos

Photography, fiction, and personal essays form my three primary creative outlets. For this blog's first 18 months, I used it primarily for photography. As I've returned to creative writing, I'll use this blog for fiction, too. Sometimes, when reality needs to be discussed more than truth, I write personal essays.

This blog will continue to showcase as many above-average photos as I can muster. Hopefully my written work will be as good or better than the visual. Whichever drew you here -- photographs or fiction, I hope you enjoy both.

Found Photos Friday: 1960s Americana 4

These first two shots are, I think, from Joliet. The house style looks like Joliet, West Chicago, and other similar-vintage suburbs to me. Were I driving a two-door Thunderbird back then, I would be proud of it, too, and taking my photo next to, inside, and on top of it. In the last case, I may elect to just wear a bathing suit.











This collection actually, I think, spans the most time of any of the five groupings. I picked these images because they all show homes and classic cars. To my eyes, it all looks like Illinois. I also have the advantage of having shots that show each of the cars' license plates and they're all from Illinois.
