I’m setting the Korean photo albums aside this week to share a look at a very different group of images. These are all black and white portraits, both formal and informal, that I’ve discovered while browsing the open-air flea market at Denio’s in Roseville over the past few years. A handful of these — like the well-dressed couple above — […]
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been eight months since I last made the drive out to Denio’s in Roseville! There were many, many weekends when I thought of going but never quite made it. Things can change a lot in that period of time, as vendors relocate to a different section of the grid, or perhaps even disappear completely. […]
During our visit in late May this year, extremely gusty winds prevented me from exploring the entire area of the Mendocino Headlands (at one point, the winds caused a local power outage that affected our rental cabin). But the sky was a beautiful blue, and it was impossible to stay away from the gorgeous coastal views. I managed to find […]
Here are more of my sightings from a recent Saturday at Denio’s Market in Roseville. It’s probably a good thing that I don’t live in a bigger house; I would be more seriously tempted to buy all the wonderful things on sale!
It turned out that, for me, today was an excellent day to go out to Denio’s and have a look around. The weather was comfortable, with a pleasant breeze; I found so much cool stuff to photograph — and a huge collection of vintage photos that came home with me. I haven’t started sorting through them yet, but I’m really […]
A few of the items seen for sale recently at Denio’s in Roseville.
I’m not sure where or when I found this lighter; it had to be several decades ago. And, not being a smoker, I’ve never used it myself. But for some reason I kept it, intrigued by its curious appearance and wondering what sort of history lay behind its dents, scrapes, and grimy looks. I finally decided to try photographing the […]
I’m so close to home — and then this happens. ETA for tow truck: unknown. Update: All is well! One of the big advantages of marrying a mechanical engineer/auto mechanic. The tow truck driver was kind enough to follow him home just to make sure everything was okay. I think the car will need a bit more work to make […]
I had a lot of fun on our most recent coastal trip exploring the immediate area around the cabin where we stayed. Sometimes you don’t have to venture very far at all to find fascinating and unexpected treasures!
