Seligman, Arizona a very friendly place

About 5 days out on my Route 66 roadtrip, I was debating whether or not to continue west of Flagstaff, Arizona and try and see California a bit before heading back to the Chicagoland area. Anyway, the main goal was that I wanted to drive a bit on Route 66 in each state that it [...]

Morning in the Desert

Well I took my route 66 road trip, I have been back home for a few days. I drove some of Route 66, from Jackson and Lakeshore drive in Chicago to Barstow, California. Sadly, I maxed out my credit card before getting to Santa Monica, California. This is when I decided to turn back east. [...]

Morning in the Desert

Out in the fields

I had my car cleaned, and decided to go out west to Utica, Illinois. About an hour or so west from the Chicagoland area, where I live.  Getting out there is a nice drive, and now that I have a new car, I enjoy the journey more. It is my way of relaxing. Creating images, [...]

Remembering out west

I passed the date I wanted to take my road trip. I wanted to take it May 4th. This past May forth was a beautiful day. I remember, I was working. I suppose I am very grateful for a solid job after a period of time without a solid employment. Uhm, it’s strange, I may [...]

Years of photos, rust and wreckage

Well, I decided to re-re-re organize and re-work some of my better photos and use Pixelpost as the framework. My new site “Chris Trott – Years of photos, rust and wreckage” is a collection of all my photos, from 2001-present. Now that I have obtained a copy of Adobe CS5, I am going to really [...]

Remembering my time in Arizona

23 June 2010

Hmm, I was reflecting on my time I spent out in Arizona. It was  a nice time, and I spent it with a nice woman. Things did not work out for me job-wise and that kinda made everything fall apart. I wish that money was not a central issue in people’s lives. Money can determine [...]

Quagmire in Clinton Iowa

25 May 2010

Well turns out when it comes to the truly advanced, and compassionate powers that be of the USA, I now have my first mark on my criminal belt. Who knew a photo excursion along the Mississippi River, would end up in a jerk water town, with, jerky, lying ,over-reacting cops. Then again I was always [...]

Route 66 road trip on hold

Well, it seems that things are not going to be happening for me on my “vacation”. I won’t be traveling old Route 66 in May. I have excessive debt and need to take care of that first before I am allowed to go down Route 66 with my camera. I was itching to go, but [...]

Coke
