#WaterfallWednesday #LostAndFoundPhotos #VintagePhoto #Photo
Photos of Niagara Falls from several vantage points near rim and at water level.
The Maid of the Mist looks very much like a small toy boat, but you can see that the deck is absolutely packed stem to stern with passengers that are barely visible through the mist and scale.
Photos circa Summer of 1982...not seen since then.
#waterfallwednesday #lostandfoundphotos #vintagephoto #photo
A marking of time, of life, and of passing
Etched in stone everlasting
Concrete evidence listed
That a human once existed
A life sustained by earth’s grace
A corporeal return at earth’s pace
A memorial is all that remains
A mark as long as earth deigns
Considering all the earth has given
Is this the best decision?
Perhaps the best way to disembark
Is to try to leave no mark

2001: A Space Odyssey
This album hits so many buttons for me. The cover art, the use of classical music for #SciFi and organs to boot.
The #CoverArt is the best…capturing perfectly the interests of my formative years…this was one of the first adult movies I saw at a “theater” (drive in) as a kid. Double feature with Silent Running…which was also an important futuristic movie, though it got almost none of the hype that 2001 did.

Photo taken for photography class. Self developed/printed…from 35mm #Pentax K1000
Subject just some emergency exits from a dorm…but I do like the mix of shadows and highlights.
Most of this stuff I have not seen for 35 years…tucked away in notebooks and boxes.

#LostAndFoundPhotos from New Orleans in early 1980s
Jazz Music, Cafe, Market and Street Scenes
Probably looks pretty similar today, minus the (likely) KodaChrome feel imparted to the images.

#LostAndFoundPhotos #SpaceFlight #VintagePhoto #Space #Rocket #1980s #Shuttle
Found photos scanned from trip to Johnson Space Center in 1983, as preparations for a Shuttle Launch were underway. The public could tour through the facility as they readied for the launch just a week away.
The juxtaposition of high-stakes mission preparation and control with access by the public reflects a time when NASA struggled to maintain interest in programs...and the funding depended on an engaged public.
