Initially, the purpose of this site was simply to be a central location for my photography that would be accessible to everyone.

As work on it progressed, it became what I would term a "memory project" in many ways. Retroactively geo-locating these photographs brings back memory details that might never have been recalled otherwise. Collecting images into thematic groups has tended to blur the time factor, and changed the way I remember them. Converting so many film images to digital seems to break down time barriers based on technical tools and techniques that have changed over time. The historical documentary value of many of these photographs comes to light when viewed together with aerial and oblique images of the same locations that show obvious change.


The site has been designed to be open-ended time-wise. Older photos, mostly B & W, will be added in upcoming months & years, as will newer, mostly digital images.


A general theme of the site is "sense of place". Over time, certain locations took on special significance, and have been revisited repeatedly over many years. Recreational destinations and home bases seem to have equal weight in terms of visual memory.
