Americana Fear and Loathing in the American West: Workers

Another visit to Americana, another abandoned spot, another lost moment in time.  I have always enjoyed photographing these scenes and felt I should send more to my audience.  So for today I give the fear and loathing again.  The titles are in Hommage to the great Hunter S. Thompson who so many years ago inspired me to create this series.

I know it dose not seem to make a horrible lot of sense to every one out there as to why I use this.  To me there is an energy in these photos much like the writing of Dr. Thompson and the overall feeling of a lost american dream the proliferates through his writings.

Balboa Park,

I truly love Balboa Park in San Diego, Ca the old building are beautiful and extremely photogenic.  This shot taken with Hipstamatic is some how incredibly powerful to me.  I have photographed the buildings in the park several times and this is my first attempt that i think was successful in capturing its beauty.

Some how the old feel of Hipstamatic shows the true beauty of the old places
