expo ’74

All the way back in the last century, Spokane, Washington, hosted a sort of small-scale world’s fair called Expo ’74. The signature structure of the Expo is still there, and now it’s a park.

You didn’t really NEED to know this. And I didn’t NEED to tell you.

But here we are.

karate

Y’all! I know for sure I am a complete dork about some things. Like the way having a karate place in a town that’s got the word “dodge” in the name completely cracked me up.

the world as we knew it, 5

Here’s the latest of my sporadic series of ICM images. This one was made last summer in Chicago, in the Lakeshore East Park.

I took myself on a little Lightroom-based trip through some older photos the other day, which is how I found this image, made on a dampish day the last time I was in San Francisco.

in-person retail fades away (goodbye, sears)

The Sears store in my local mall has been torn down. It’s been vacant for four years.

In the last few weeks the store was open I went up there almost every day to photograph the way a former retail giant looked as it died. At first I was worried that employees might challenge me and/or ask me to leave. But as it turns out, employees who only have that job for another paycheck or two don’t really care all that much.

And so, here are a couple of versions about what the death of Sears looked like.
