Newspaper Series – The Morning Call

Over the past few months, I’ve been using an iphone to document my encounters at the various newspapers I’ve visited in my travels.  My latest stop was, Allentown, PA and The Morning Call.  I feel the series as a whole is very much in line with the theme of this blog.  The images captured stand as quiet glimpses, or suggestions of the day to day activities they’re taken from, rather than as documentary representations of something much larger, in this case an entire industry.  More to come from the Newspaper series…  Click the Newspaper Series category to the right on the home page to see previous images.

The Real Deal

On a recent work trip to Newport News, VA, I went in search of a meal at the end of my last full day there. This was trip number two to the area in as many weeks. All the nights previously I’d dined with colleagues at various spots located at the Peninsula Town Center close to the hotel. This time, however, I was on my own, and I was bound and determined to have an “authentic” experience.

Before heading out, I told a friend on the phone that I wanted to eat at “some old crab shack by the water,” and NOT the famous Joe’s. My friend wished me luck as I hung up the phone to embark on my quest. Success! I simply Googled “Crab Shack Newport News, VA” and I found the perfect spot! I enjoyed a delicious meal of Snow Crab Legs and a baked potato on the side at The Crab Shack on the east end of the James River. Not only was the meal fantastic, but the sunset was perfectly suited for my Instagram obsession. Click, click, click.

Another great place to try if you’re ever in the area is Smoke. I had BBQ lunch there twice. Delicious!

Walking Neighborhood

I live in a very walkable neighborhood and I pass by Lafayette High School every time I head in the direction of the Elmwood Village. Here’s a little glimpse of the beautiful historic building.

Everyday Images

From Grant Street in Buffalo to Pearl Street Rd in Corfu, and various points in between, these are some images I’ve made in my travels around the area over the last two weeks.  Instagram provides a fun way to interact with new surroundings when you’re on the go.  I like the format of Instagram as a social network too, because it acts as a time capsule for collecting a mass of images, in chronological order all in one place.
