The wigwam villages are a quintessential part of road culture-many registered as historic landmarks. Staying off Route 66 in Holbrook, Arizona, the Wigwam Village was a must for me. A delight upon arrival, the vintage cars that filled the lot. Made for some of my favorite style picture-taking… vintage style. Read more…
If I stopped at every piece of roadside nostalgia then I would not get very far in my travels. So I have reserved early mornings for driving about towns to grab what I can while everyone is asleep. To follow, mostly Yuma, Arizona. This cleaners was still in operation. An Read more…

It has been on my Bucket List to actually stay at this marvel of a hotel at John F. Kennedy airport: The TWA Hotel. And for a very special occasion, I booked the budget-friendly Day Tripper reservation to have four hours of full access to the amenities, including their heated Read more…

I’ve always wanted to join the annual Holiday Nostalgic Ride… when the MTA allows its vintage trains to ping-pong from Chambers Street to Harlem. And so with a day of Manhattan errands, I made it happen. I tried to do most of my holiday errands locally. This was a neat Read more…

Why hadn’t I been to the New York Transit Museum before?! With its amazing collection of vintage train cars, complete with era-appropriate advertisements, I was in heaven. The purpose of my visit was to get some shots from my Dad. He has always been into trains; his Dad worked on Read more…

Ok, so I did have a flight to catch… but I got there extra early to, once again, see this gorgeous mid century modern gem. I’m just going to lay these images down here and remind you of one of my favorite things: mid century design. Till next time, TWA Read more…

I had this vision of a vintage commercial for this vintage set of Lady Sunbeam hot rollers I scored from the Rochester Goodwill Bins. But it was better in my mind. Still here is some related content for archival purposes. Little me in curlers…

As may have been evident during my reporting on abandoned honeymoon resorts, my fascination with these resorts runs deep. They have got it all: vintage kitsch and aesthetic, bygone-ism, and the gloriously futile attempt to harness the impossible… love … and create its physical manifestation. Being a hopeless romantic, I’ve Read more…

A new tradition has started… visiting the TWA Hotel before a flight. To follow, some shots from pre-flight time-wasting. I really would like to try to have a photoshoot here! There is nothing like this hotel.

I have a thing for vintage neon. Just like I have a thing for vintage anything, in general. And speaking of vintage, this is the one of the best vintage shops I’ve ever been to! Junkee. To Reno, a place with a lot of stuff I love.

Roller skating is such a fun summer activity. And I love that I have friends who want to roller skate with me! Even though I am not great, I really enjoy it… much like bowling. For my archive, a compilation of roller skating materials. Because I am getting slightly better Read more…

The Heart of the Mother Road, I very much enjoyed my stay in Tucumcari, New Mexico. The whole town embraces roadtrip culture as bygone ruins stand next to thriving road establishments in a sort of living museum. Seemingly frozen in time, I was able to book my stay at a Read more…

Another jam-packed year proceeds to its 12th month… December… 2021. Along with the usual confusion of “How is it December already?!” my beloved holiday decorations welcome the wonder, twinkling with a love and appreciation of those who blessed my year and reflecting an enduring hope for continued adventure in the Read more…

The last day of the desert adventure… before I would spend hours in the air waiting for New York City storms to clear the atmosphere before landing in Buffalo to refuel and finally seeing my bed in Brooklyn at 2:00 am as opposed to 8:00 pm as originally scheduled. It Read more…

Fremont Street is where the Old strip used to be, where vintage neon harkens back to less grandiose times. Of course this was always my favorite part of Vegas to visit. But now The Fremont Experience embodies a whole different time of vibe… dot dot dot Let’s just say it Read more…

My latest photography love is taking pictures that could be from a different time, a time that leaves all of the worst of the now in its own frame, blurred by an airbrushed filter, adds bunny ears and whiskers and then deletes it with harsh alert tone that jars you Read more…

Easter candy was always my favorite. Maybe because my Mom made the best Easter baskets. It was the Cadbury Eggs, which I veganized last year, and Peeps that were my absolute favorite. I knew I’d have to tackle an attempt to recreate these very special treats at some point. Traveling Read more…

The vegan options at Copiague Bakery are the kind of vegan options I love. Unpretentious and unlikely vegan options that seem available quite randomly. I arrived thinking I’d get a simple cupcake and be on my way… but their sweets grabbed me by the hand in a stroll down memory Read more…
