iPhoneography, Travel, visual notes

Long an admirer of the FIAT 500 – vintage and otherwise, I finally realized I could purchase one for myself and did so in early December. Lots of pictures I want to take… This is just a start.

Visual Notes: Ghost Town in Suburbia

Photojournalism, San Diego, Southern California, visual notes

Somewhere in northern San Diego County you’ll find a planned community that sits in stalled development, a ghost town of sorts. It has driveways to nowhere, house-less streets with lovely street lamps standing by to do their job and utility boxes with street numbers for houses that don’t exist. Truly a ghost town in the suburbs.
