Florida Bowling Alleys


I started photographing old signs years ago in an effort to try to document a part of Florida that seemed to be disappearing at rapid rate. So many of my images are mediocre prints, but Photoshop allows me to re-crop and intensify their color. As I transition to a digital library from conventional photography, I discovered the online community at a Flick'r to be a great resource for these images. It's interesting to me that photographs are not longer called "shots", but are now referred to as "captures."

Debra Jane Selzer, aka Agilitynut, recently started a Flick'r group for roadside bowling alley signs, so I took it as an opportunity to scan some of these from my early travels across the state.

Roadside Architecture Blog


I'm off to Leesburg for the weekend and will be unable to blog for a couple days. But as luck would have it, one of my favorite roadside enthusiasts is headed to Florida and you can follow her blog as she makes her way through the Sunshine State. Debra Jane Seltzer, aka "agilitynut" has an incredible archive of photos on her website and her flickr images are amazing.  As her Southern roadtrip heads our way, I urge you to follow her blog to see what kind of cool, quirky stuff she finds along the road! This is how I wished I traveled!
