These photo’s were taken on my first visit to the USA in 1992 on Kodachrome film. I was so amazed at the scenery and the big skies. The images were taken in Moab and Canyonlands NP, a fantastic area to visit.
Downtown Moab
Canyonlands
The colours have shifted a little with time, but it’s so good to have a record of this trip.
All images were taken on my Olympus OM2n with Zuiko 24mm, 2.8 lens, which is still working today.
Wonderful memories!
Now can anyone show his 26 years old digital photos… no, that was a bad joke!
This makes me think of my dear boxes of Kodachrome slides from my youth… all unfortunately lost now

It’s true, could be difficult to view digital images in 26 years. Shame that you lost your Kodachromes. I have some slides from 1966 from a school trip to Germany, Denmark, and Sweden !!!!

To this viewer’s eyes at least, the color shift makes the images even more appealing! Wonderful composition on that last one especially …

I really connected with the shot of downtown! My husband and I have taken multiple trips to Moab. It’s changed a lot since this photo. The parks are as beautiful as ever 🙂

I remember a bar in Moab that sold lots of different fruit beers. On my second visit we stayed at the Stagecoach motel

I was only in the USA one time for a couple of weeks, in LA and SF, for Christmas. Upon arrival I was so shocked that I couldn’t take a single photo for days. In Venice Beach it opened up, we were having pizza on the grass and I took some photos through my new orange-tilted glasses that made everything green bizarrely vibrant. And that was without any drugs.

😀 I loved SF, would really like to visit again, but my favourite was Northern California, met some lovely people and the giant redwoods blew me away.
