Who wants to be my date? ・・・ Civil War veterans, Irish immigrants, African American people who were formerly enslaved, and others worked for the Union Pacific Railroad. The Central Pacific hired Chinese immigrants. The Railroad cut through lands inhabited by many Native nations, forever altering Native ways of life.

Forever...

Not a lot of time for iPhone photos today, mostly #4x5 and #6x6 archival documentation of an important structure that will no longer be with us soon. #martintower is a beautiful #latecenturymodern tower that was #bethlehemsteel ‘s HQ and will be imploded soon. Glad they lets a small group of professionals through today to do what we can do to salvage artifacts, drawings and do archival #photography We lost the #preservation battle but we do what we can in the last hours of these places. • • • • • #thisplacematters #preservationfail #urbanarcheology #ruins#architecture#architecturephotography#demolition#ishootfilm (at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUz8rrB5dq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wwf4xwbvusbh

Got to stop by @bestmadeco #newyork on my way out of town. Sounds like they just renovated the space and it looks #amazing. Good to see the progression over time and that the fire is still burning bright! @peterbuchanansmith (at Best Made Company)

I’m also a little crazy😜 but I’m happy to be one of National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 40 Under 40: People Saving Places, a list honoring innovators having a significant impact on #historic #preservation and related fields. @savingplaces thank you for the designation, and what your saying is just keep doin’ what I’m doing right? #thisplacematters. #coalmine#undergroundmining #industrialarcheology

I love you, and I miss you, and I’m sorry.

A #headframe in the Sierra foothills. these are like the trees of vertical mining works. They mark a very dangerous vertical entrance to a subterranean world that usually descends thousands of feet underground. . . . . . . #undergroundmining #goldmining #urbanarcheology #industrialarcheology#filmphotography#kodakfilm#hasselblad#industrialarchaeology
