De Soto Hotel Light Leak

Aug 5, 2023 | Photoblog, Photography

There’s always something to see driving through downtown Kingston. The De Soto Hotel still has its charm. I’d very much like to see this place brought back to life with either a small hotel or restaurant. But even as it sits, the vibe of the area is welcoming.

So with 4 shots of Lomochrome Metropolis left in a camera that was known to need the seals replaced, I went for it. Pretty cool how it turned out with the light streak running straight down on the ramp in the sidewalk. I might hold off on replacing the seals in this Nikon EM.

This is pretty rad! James at The Daily Planet, I mean Cartersville Daily Tribune, gave me a call the other day to talk about the new Superman theme song, Kyle Troop & The Heretics, and rock & roll. Check out the article...

Riding Around On Expired Gold

Riding Around On Expired Gold

A few views of an afternoon riding around the warehouses in town with a new (to me) Nikon FE and a roll of Kodak Gold that expired in 2002. Pretty sure the lease was a Nikon 35mm f2 AIS. I intentionally over exposed a little, or a little more depending on the shot....

Towed

Towed

Might need a tow. I think they've been sitting there a few. It's always a blast grabbing the Nikon FM as I'm headed out the door. I know there will be something cool to see. This time it was captured on Lomography Lady Grey 400.

First Roll of JCH StreetPan

First Roll of JCH StreetPan

I picked up a few rolls of Japan Camera Hunter StreetPan with the best intentions of shooting a roll or two pretty quickly for the fun of it. Then it got thrown in a box and forgotten about for a few months. When I came across it again, I threw it in my Nikon FM with...

My Adventures With Superman

My Adventures With Superman

Any Superman/DC fans out there?   I've been sitting on this for a hot minute. Check out the theme song for the new My Adventures With Superman coming to Adult Swim, Max, and Toonami in July. You just might hear some Kyle Troop & The Heretics.   It was a blast...

The Local Wildlife

The Local Wildlife

You just never know what you're going to find roaming the streets of town around here. I know the government released coyotes in the 70s. But I didn't realize there's a flourishing t-rex population keeping it pretty low key. It's fun to wonder around on sleepy...

Industrial Remnants

Industrial Remnants

They're almost like ancient giants hiding in plain sight. Just about anywhere you go, there they are. Keeping watch from the forgotten and overlooked places where nature has reclaimed. But the gate was open. And now the abandoned space let its presence be known. I've...

Just Walk In

Just Walk In

This building catches my eye each time I drive past. It used to be tucked in a little better with a bank previously sitting on the lot next door. As other structures are pulled down, this spot keeps on keeping on. So on a rainy weekend day, I thought I'd check it out...

Lowgap Tree Farm

Lowgap Tree Farm

While it's always a good time to get to drive up to the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine up at Wellspring Mountain, fall is especially enjoyable. At the foot of the mountain is a sleepy tree farm with all sorts of things reaching up to the sun. On the way out, we...
