Two in PS, Two in DHS
These were all shot on Ilford Delta 100 film.
The plinth for Forever Marilyn on Museum Way.
History Of Suspended Time by Gonzalo Lebrija at the Palm Springs Art Museum.
The north side of the DHS Spa sign in disrepair with an improperly displayed heavily damaged American flag. Looks like something run by a slumlord, doesn't it?
A water leak in front of Miracle Springs Resort. I reported this to the resort and to Mission Springs Water District. The water district told me it was the resort's property and responsibility. I never heard back from the resort.

Burning Man Art For 2021 Is A 'Go'
In this latest announcement from Burning Man they say (among many other things) that they are committing to fully funding art now, even though we don't yet know if Burning Man will actually happen on the Black Rock Desert this year. This means that probably some (or possibly all) of the art will actually end up being displayed somewhere else in the world.

Boston, NYC, Connecticut
Prudential Tower in the background, fountain at the Christian Science Center in the foreground, Ektachrome, 1989.
"Theseus Fighting the Centaur Bianor" by Antoine-Louis Barye. This is probably at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, but I don't guarantee that. The Met says it's in Gallery 548 ("European Sculpture and Decorative Arts"), but the background of my photo is not Gallery 548 and a Google walk-through of Gallery 548 reveals no Theseus fighting any centaur. But if someone would like to go to the Met and pinpoint its actual location, I would be delighted to know.
Geoff and his friend on his friend's sailboat docked in Darien, Connecticut. Kodachrome, 1988.
At the corner of Marlborough Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Boston's Back Bay, Ektachrome, 1989.

Three In Boston and One Unknown
Unidentified (so far) bronze sculpture. Kodachrome, October 1987, the same month as the March on Washington, so this could be in Washington...or the Boston area. If you recognize it, please leave a comment.
Construction of Back Bay station in Boston, 1986.
The Charles River in the morning, viewed from the BU Bridge.

Four From Across The Breadth Of The USA
Kauai, Kodachrome, 1986.
Corvette in a McDonald's in Chicago, Kodachrome, 1987.
Possibly at the 1987 March on Washington.
Seen in Washington when we were there for the 1987 March on Washington, but I didn't make note of who the artist was, nor even where we saw this displayed.

The ceiling in the grand hall where one enters the Jefferson building.
Naked baseball players on the ceiling of the Library of Congress. I've got another photo showing football players.
Down in the tunnels connecting the Jefferson and Madison (and I'm sure other) buildings.
Columns at the entrance to the Madison Memorial Building.

Slide Photos Of The Past (well, we couldn't have future, could we?)
Somewhere in New England (Maine, most likely).
A view of the skyline of downtown Boston from Alewife Station on the Red Line. I think the very white steeple you can see towards the left part of the downtown skyline is a church that used to stand in Porter Square. You can see the Federal Reserve building on the righthand part of the skyline.
My brother's stepdaughter at the wedding between her mother and him in 1986, Fremont, California.
Polaris and the star trails around it. I probably shot this while out camping, which means it's probably Maine.
I can't remember where this is, but I'm tempted to say Chicago. Kodachrome, 1987.
Prometheus in front of the Prudential Center in Boston, 1986.
The old John Hancock, Back Bay, Boston. Kodachrome, 1986.
The reflecting pool at the Christian Science Center in The Fenway, Boston.Agfachrome, 1985.
Chicago City Hall, Kodachrome, 1987.
The Christian Science Center in Boston. Kodachrome, 1986.

A lot of slides from around 1987, mostly
Also Chicago, Kodachrome, 1987. This is probably the last time I saw this sign on the Allerton Hotel. I had always wondered if the Tip-Top-Tap was still a going concern or was it just too expensive to take down those letters. But that was before the internet. Now I can find out without having to actually go to Chicago and ride an elevator to the top. The Tip-Top-Tap opened in the 1920s and closed in 1961. It is used now as a ballroom or meeting room for private parties, but the bar is gone.
Chicago, but I can't identify these buildings. The sleek one is not the Willis Tower. This is 1987 (Kodachrome again). If anyone can identify these buildings please leave a comment or email me.
Ferns in the inner courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
Kilauea Lighthouse, Kauai; Kodachrome 1986.
Kodachrome, 1989. I don't recall where this is.
Lower South Branch Pond, Baxter State Park, Maine; Kodachrome 1987.
The Nantucket Light Ship, Kodachrome, early 1980s.
The Robie House by Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park, outside Chicago. 1987, Kodachrome.
The Reserve Channel in Boston on Ektachrome, early 1980s. When I lived in South Boston in the early '80s, I worked downtown at 100 Summer Street, so most mornings I would walk to work (a couple miles) rather than suffer the crowded bus. This was along the way and almost always offered a photogenic view. But it never changed much, either. Sometimes a ship would tie up and stay for more than a year.
The Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki Beach, Kodachrome, 1986.
On the Charles River Esplanade in Boston looking across the river at MIT in Cambridge. Kodachrome, 1987.
My first visit to the Vietnam Memorial Wall on The Mall in Washington, Kodachrome, 1987. I was quite impressed with the feeling of grief that grows to almost overwhelming levels as I walked down into the memorial and the walls rose higher than my head.
A serendipitous moment at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1987.
