camcorder
spent a january morning in death valley national park touring scotty's castle with the national park service & my camcorder. also known as death valley ranch, the expansive former residence has been closed for repairs since 2015.
brought out my camcorder on my summer hike through the narrows in zion national park. I didn’t much enjoy the hiking – walking in knee deep (or higher!) water is not for me – but I did at least enjoy the scenery. I will continue to love slot canyons, but more when the water in them has long since disappeared.
en route to the spiral jetty at the great salt lake, we stumbled upon golden spike national historic park. the park marks the place where the two halves of the first transcontinental railroad in the united states met and features two working replicas of the trains which met here on may 10th 1869.
after 4 days of hiking on the inca trail we reached machu picchu & were greeted by perfect clouds & blue skies.
the $40 lofi camcorder remains undefeated.
something I always liked to do when I lived in brooklyn was go to coney island in the winter. this beach-town is almost totally abandoned during the colder months as the theme parks & boardwalk shops wait for summer to return before unlocking their gates & opening their doors. on my recent weekend in nyc I spent a very cold morning (28 degrees fahrenheit) walking along the boardwalk with my camcorder & making friends with the suspicious seagulls.
