West Feliciana Historical Society in St. Francisville, Louisiana | February 1978 & April 2014

Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania | 1987 & 2014

Although my grandfather was not the one to capture this photo of us at Longwood Gardens in 1987, I imagine these moments of seeing his camera draped around his neck helped to inspire my love of photography and travel.

Cedar Pass Campground in Badlands National Park, South Dakota | May 1981 & October 2013

Excerpt from my grandmother’s travel journal: “Thursday, May 28th. Up at 6:30, sunny & warm but the wind keeps it cool. With our simple setup we are quickly in order and breakfast under the “conistoga”-shade after washup.”

I almost didn’t reach the campground to capture this image. The government shutdown went into affect the night before, but I decided to try my luck anyway. Fortunately for me there was a delay in paperwork, which allowed enough time to find the exact campsite where my grandparents had stayed and explore a portion of the Badlands.

Badlands National Park Visitor Center, South Dakota | 1973 & 2013

It was interesting to note that the Badlands was designated as a National Monument until it was reclassified as a National Park in 1978. The Visitor Center has been named after Ben Reifel since it’s construction in 1957-58, but the sign was changed somewhere between 1973 and 2013. It was also interesting to see how much (or how little) that tree had grown in 40 years.

I almost didn’t get entry into the Badlands to capture this image. The government shutdown went into affect the night before, but I decided to try my luck anyway. Fortunately for me there was a delay in paperwork, which allowed enough time to capture this image and explore a portion of the park.

Winchester Bay, Oregon Coast | June 1981 & October 2012

Excerpt from my grandmother’s travel journal: "Winchester Bay - since we promised ourselves at least one good seafood dinner, we went in and had one at the "Grotto" — clam chowder, salmon, baked potato, home baked bread, butter, and sour cream chives - delicious!! And so much so, we had to go for a walk around the docks with boats of all sizes."
