Along Benson Highway

Tucson, AZ

Another shot from the Holga. Someone does live in this trailer, and quite often people will take up residence in the motels along this street, one of which is the Apache Tears Motel (previous post).

Nice to see the Holga come out to play. They always make interesting images.

Nothing can replicate what the Holga can deliver. Love it!

Woody said...

The telephone pole forms a cross, which seems, in a strange way, to complement the razor wire around the top of the fence.

Luis Gomez said...

Excellent! Great image T.

Ahum... Maybe I'd prefer the motel after all. This reminds me of Indian reservations everywhere.

If we meet again, I'll tell you all about the Travelodge I had to stay at (nowhere else to go...)

I don't like the looks of that fence at all. Not very welcoming. I guess these people want to stay "in".

excellent ce traitement d'une autre epoque !

A photo with great impact. From the "other" side of the tracks. I'm always amazed that so much of what we are is an accident of birth!

How thoughtful an image. Great reminder, that it is the 'inside' that counts.
Please have a good new month.

Interesting colors effects with the holga.
I would have thought of a military base.

Bob Crowe said...

The Apache Tears Motel is surrounded by coiled razor wire? Sheesh. The vignetting works well. It looks like a view through a telescope from a long distance away.

I like the colors effects.thank for you kind words..Have a nice day.

They say that home is where the heart is, but this looks a little desolate! Really like the Holga image, Aimee my daughter has one and loves using it.

Thérèse said...

As if seen from far...
Very nice with the Holga, you are becoming such an expert.

Sharon said...

Looks like you were peeking through a whole in a fence.

Carla said...

Hi Trish, the Holga rocks. Love the colours and the trailer. Carla

Marcie said...

Magical color and light. There's nothing like a good ol' fashioned film camera!

JM said...

T, guess what immediatly caught my attention... The big hairy(?) cacti on the right, of course! :-)

At first I thought the telephone pole was a cross and this was a church surrounded by razor wire. Nice job wit Holga.

Carraol said...

Love this image, looks as a part of a sequence of an old film!

Doug Hickok said...

I like the different look of the Holga. It must be fun to work with as you never know exactly what to expect :^) I like the little cross of the telephone pole over the trailer. It is almost like a graveyard. RIP.

Kaori said...

Oh yay! You're using your holga again! I love this shot :D

Francisca said...

I'm not keen on fences, especially not of fences topped with razor wire. So is it to keep us out or them in? A perfect image for the Holga, T.

rian said...

the fence gives the impression of security.. nice capture.. :)

What a terrible place! I am so glad I don't live there. The contrast between my good fortune and what might have been provides a disconcerting start to the day.

Dominic Doherty said...

I love those old silver trailers...
