Thanks Alon! The storage facilites project is rolling along. No shortage of subject matter, which is kind of the point. Good luck at the opening tonight! Wish I could be there, but I'm out of town this weekend.

I hope you'll be impressed to hear that on the other side of my family we have a business that made the cover of Self Storage Magazine....

I wanted to start a project where I could find something to photograph every 20 feet so it was a no brainer

I'm impressed alright! I love SSM! I tell people I only read it for the articles, but that's a lie.

Travis filled in as small town 1920s Kansas in the classic 1961 film "Splendor in the Grass," which oddly enough was filmed entirely in NY and NJ. The home of Natalie Wood's character was on Victory Blvd across from Sylvan Grove Cemetery. There's a photo of Wood, co-star Warren Beatty, Robert Wagner, Director Elia Kazan, and a gorgeous Joan Collins (who was dating Beatty at the time) incongruously sitting on folding chairs on the curb in the middle of nowhere Staten Island during a break in the filming.
