This photo was taken later in the day on September 13, 2008. It is the complex where my daughter lives. Fortunately for her she didn’t live in the building that burned to the ground. The TL120 was the camera used.

aftermath
Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States. This photo was taken on Bolivar Peninsula in December 2008. It is actually one of the few structures that wasn’t totally washed away. The camera used was the TL120.

Remains of Balinese Ballroom Galveston
Hurricane Ike roared through Texas on September 13, 2008. Its path of destruction included Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula and Houston. Bolivar was nearly flattened, few structures remain. The Ballinese Ballroom was a Galveston landmark. Frank Sinatra even performed here! Here is a link to this famous ballroom built in the 1920’s: http://balineseroom.net/historyofBalinese.htm
The TL120 was used for this shot.
Across Mexico
-
- Church in Patzcuaro, Mexico
-
- Near Lake Chapala, Mexico
-
- Janitizio Island, Lake Patscuaro, Mexico
-
- Coca Cola sign in Mexico
These are most likely images made with Provia 100 (though I can’t say with certainty). The wonderful image of the tree was produced with my Sputnik. The others were done with my TL120-1.
Coca Cola Sign was taken on a spring break trip 2008 to the state of Michoacan. This is the same trip where my film was not processed correctly and I lost over 2/3 of the images due to “muddy” processing. And a light leak from the 120 because I didn’t have the red window covered with the slidey thing 🙁
The Church in Patzcuaro was also taken on the same spring break trip. Patzcuaro is located west of Mexico City, closer to the state of Morelia. This image was processed by the same troublesome lab.
Back in June 2004, on the way to Mazamilta, Mexico we came across this gorgeous tree in front of a simple dwelling. Lake Chapala is about a 30 minute drive from Guadalajara.
The Island of Janitizio is near the town of Patzcuaro, located west of Mexico City, closer to the state of Morelia. On the island a statue of Jose M. Morelos has been erected. Entering the statue one can follow the spiral stairs up to the head and then up the narrow steps inside his raised arm. The inside is covered with murals depicting the life of Morelos. Morelos was the leader of the movement for Mexican independence from Spain in 1810 after Miguel Hidalgo was executed by the Spaniards. The first inhabitants of Michoacan, the state where Janitzio is located, thought that because of the extraordinary beauty of this lake, it was the door to heaven and that through it the gods used to come down to earth.
