The Adventurer

I've started to photograph my vintage camera collection. Here is the adventurer!

1885

This is envelope accompanied a letter written in 1885. I bought this at the Alemany flea market today for $1.

Journal, NYC, May 2006

I came across this image last night when I was looking through some digital images that I haven't done anything with yet. This is from my trip to NY & Boston last May/June. I kept a self-portrait photo journal every day. I was using my Polaroid 680 camera with 600 film. Unfortunately, that camera no longer works:(

Peacock, Mexico City

This is a peacock who was showing off for the visitors at the Dolores Olmeda house and gardens in Mexico City. Olmeda was a major art collector. She has an amazing pre-columbian collection as well as work by Diego Rivera & Frida Kahlo, just to name a few.

Old Books, Oaxaca

These were some really old books in the historical museum in Oaxaca. They had a few rooms devoted to books but they were behind cages.

Graffiti, Oaxaca

This was graffiti in Oaxaca, in January 2006.

Jesus in Plastic

This is in the annex that is to the left of the main part of the Parroquia in San Miguel. They were doing some major renovation so all of the statues were covered in plastic. It was kind of creepy in a really interesting way.
