Lawrence, Massachusetts, 1977

In the 1970’s, Lawrence, Massachusetts was an industrial town on Boston’s outskirts. Heavily Italian and Catholic, on a Sunday morning the streets were quiet and smelled of breakfasts cooking. Shops are shuttered and the cars are parked after busy Saturday nights. This series documents a time decades ago in an American neighborhood of immigrant families, industry’s backbone before manufacturing was replaced by automation, global trade, and information and data mining. Union tradesmen, teachers, accountants, line workers, truck drivers, cops and fire fighters, nurses and home makers. Hard hats and extended families. American streets in 1977. This is their neighborhood.

Congress of Oddities

This set of images is from a larger series photographed in Atlanta in 1973. The Great Southeastern Fair used to appear every year at the Lakewood Fairgrounds, before it was bulldozed. Lakewood had a huge wooden roller coaster that was famous. When I lived in Atlanta, my photography was limited mostly to Sunday mornings. The fair grounds were empty and the custodians were sweeping up paper cups and ticket stubs. Side show attendants and ride barkers were sleeping in the cabs of their trucks. The skeleton of the carnival stands silent.

New Mexico Landscapes

New Mexico is a vast state offering unbelievable variety of landscape from snowy mountain peaks to parched deserts, rivers, canyons, massive forests, grassy plains, and bizarre badlands. A history of ancient natives who left intricate ruins and whose descendants still inhabit historic pueblos. The state is scattered with relics of volcanoes and is home to the coldest, wettest desert in the world. Old mining towns have dwindled to ghost towns. And the Rio Grande splits the state feeding farms of chile peppers and pistachios and wintering sites for cranes and geese. It is rightfully the Land of Enchantment.
