This is Kassidee at the children's sculpture behind the Magic House, a Children's Museum located in St. Louis, Missouri. One figure in the statue was purposefully left out so children could pose with it. For the One Rokkor Around The World project. A Minolta MC W.Rokkor 28mm f/3.5 wide angle lens, which started in Baltimore, Maryland U.S.A. and will travel all over the world in the next two years, will be in each participant's possession for approximately a two-week period, in which time they will put it on one of their own personal Minolta camera bodies, (or any camera body that they can get it to fit), and they will photograph subjects that are indicative of their country, region, culture, etc. It is currently in my keep and I am so excited about getting to use it! This follows on a previous Rokkor lens project that made it's way all around the world, but that one was a Minolta Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.7 normal lens.

This is the Sears Tower, located in Chicago, Illinois, seemingly vanishing into the clouds due to it's lofty height and rainy conditions. Photographed on October 14th, 2003 with a FujiFilm disposable camera.

I took this shot of Chicago, Illinois on October 13th, 2003, with a FujiFilm disposable camera.

This is the House Of Blues in Chicago, Illinois. I was there to see Simply Red on October 13th, 2003.

A photo postcard of a place my family stopped at for a Coco-Cola on August 22nd, 1966. From the writing on the back of it, it looks like my Grandmother Wright, Mom's mom was there with us.

This could have been the first shot I ever took with my Kodak Handle instant camera. It was taken while my family was headed to Arizona for vacation and I remember this shot was taken of the Texas skies out the window of our moving vehicle. Camera: Kodak The Handle instant camera Date: August 1977 Location: Texas, U.S.A. Kodak Handle Texas 1df

This is my sister Karla and I on the lot of Old Tucson, Arizona. A place used for filming many Western movies and television series. The day we were here, back on February 8th, 1970, they were shooting the television Western series "High Chaparral" there.

My Mom, sister and me at the movie set for the television show, "The HIgh Chaparral." It was filmed in Southern Arizona, Old Tucson, to be exact. This was taken when it was still on the air, on February 8th, 1970. Looks like Dad must have taken it because Mom didn't want to be in pictures very often and was the family photographer. Scanned from a wallet-sized photo.

Mt. Graham, near Safford, Arizona. Taken in July 1977 with a Kodak Handle instant film camera. My family used to live right around this spot and this was our backyard view. (Without the buildings, of course. All we saw was desert all the way to the mountain's edge.)
