coastal memories

When I was a kid I would spend a few weeks in the summer visiting my grandparents ranch in Northern California. Their spot was in Redwood Valley but they also had a small piece of land just north of Mendocino.

During those excursions to Mendocino my sister and I would stand on the outcropping and throw french fries into the wind. The gulls typically didn't have to work much since the fries would usually just kind of float by them. While we were having fun defying balance and death, my dad, grandpa and uncle would dive for abalone, sea urchins and starfish in the cove below. I can still feel the grease in my hands and the humidity in my hair.

miami and montana






On my last trip to Miami I was cruising down Biscayne Blvd and spotted some pretty cool old motel signs. I had my holga with me so I decided to shoot them. These old motel signs reminded me of an assignment where we drove over 3,000 miles.

On one of the nights we ended up in a small town in the middle of nowhere Montana. The only place available for the night was a $24.99 motel. I contemplated sleeping on the park bench across the street then opted for the room; although I should have done the latter.

The room was dingy, cold and musty. The walls were grey cinder block. The bathroom floor was missing all of it's tiles. The sink was mounted into a counter made of rotting plywood. The t.v. was via the 70's and hung out of the ceiling. I turned it on for a few seconds; the screen was orange and yellow with lines running horizontal. Before bed, instead of using the bathroom I opted for the alleyway behind the motel. I didn't dare sleep under the covers, instead I whipped out my down north face bag and slept like a baby.

he's still walking



A few months ago I shot BJ Hill walking across America for Southwest Spirit Magazine. He's nearly done, ending next month in his home state of Massachusetts. Did I mention his calves are huge?
