The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of December 9, 2016. This week, we’re challenging you to think ahead and show your work in a representative photo. If you set New Year’s resolutions, give them some thought a few weeks early. If resolutions aren’t your style, show us something that you want to achieve — it could be […]
Las summer I started going through my dad’s old collection of color slides and scanning them to my computer — and cleaning them up as best I can. Since I finished with the images from Mexico, I’ve decided to go a little deeper into the past and share some of the more interesting photos in my family’s slide collection. This week […]
Farewell, Mexico Monday! Even though I suspect there still must be a few more slides somewhere around the house (including one of an 8-year-old me standing on a street corner holding onto a giant bunch of balloons), they have yet to turn up, so this will be my final week sharing my dad’s slide images of trips to Mexico. First, […]
Next week I’ll be concluding my Mexico Monday series with the last few pictures of churches in the Ensenada area of Baja California. I’m thinking about carrying on in a similar theme with Memory Mondays — sharing some of the best images I’ve found as I sort through my family’s old photos. Any thoughts? Feel free to share!
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for this week is Commercial or Industrial Buildings. This week I want to see buildings of where we all work. Big skyscrapers, factories and huge warehouses that store commercial products or edible foods. A commercial building can also be a small building for those smaller stores and shops. At first I was completely intimidated by this week’s […]
A few more images from San Antonio de las Minas, near Ensenada, Mexico. The next slides were labeled “Loma Linda church.” And here my dad and another man are talking to someone he identified as Amador Roberte, possibly the pastor of the church they were visiting.
Even when my dad wasn’t spending summers traveling in Mexico with Frank Gonzales, he still found opportunities to travel and meet new people. These photos were taken on his trips to Baja California with Vacation Samaritan. The Vacation Samaritans were groups of mostly young people who voluntarily traveled from their churches to work sites in Mexico. They would help build […]
It’s hard for me to believe I’ve been doing this series for 14 weeks now! I’ve gone through most of my Dad’s slides from Mexico — but there’s still a few left, dated 1975 and later. This is my last bunch from the trips he made with Frank Gonzales and his team in central Mexico. I’m not sure what town this is; maybe […]
