I wonder how many elections were decided here. How many sharecroppers voted here for the first time after the 1960 voting rights act passed.

The Todd Hido experiment, between Headland and Columbia Alabama. I am always surprised how there are these beautiful objects and compositions in the southern landscape. Mostly I have learned its the rural landscape, agricultural. In small abandoned towns and crossroad stores. Not saying I photograph them well but I do see them and they are so interesting to me. In this photo what got my attention were the conveyors on the front. Almost like serpent heads each pointing differently. The grain bins were seemed to be put on a slight hill all alone as if put on display.

The Ort Cloud. One of the most interesting thinsgs I have seen in a long time. At the center of it is our solar system. It is full of icy “planetesimals”, which are solid objects in protoplanetary disks and debris disks formed 4.6 billion years ago.

My arrival to America in 1967. My mother is holding me in a basket as she steps off a ship from England in New York City.
The photo was taken by a New York Times a and a given to my mother a few days. This was on the front page of the New York Times the day after their arrival. Its the only photo of me as a baby that my family has.
