Photo Friday, Photography, Pioneertown

Today we add a new feature.  Since I am an amateur photographer, I’ll be showcasing a different photograph of mine on Fridays.  Today’s photo comes from 2005 and was taken at Pioneertown, California near Twentynine Palms.  They once had a website but evidently it is now a dead link.  There was a wildfire that burned parts of the town in 2006 though I am not sure if that has anything to do with the dead link.  I’m also not sure just how much of the town had burned – sadly I have not been back since 2005.  So as much as I hate to use Wikipedia, here is a link to the their entry for Pioneertown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneertown,_California

One of my colleagues at Colonial Williamsburg has started a new endeavor he is calling the 35/15 Photo Project.  While he introduces the project better here, in a nutshell he is reshooting images of Colonial Williamsburg taken in 1935 today in 2015 (hence the 35/15).  Personally I am interested in the evolution of the physical landscape of historical places over time.  However, most of my experience is with Civil War battlefields (I think of William Frassanito’s Gettysburg Then & Now: Touring the Battlefield with Old Photos or Roger Linton’s Chickamauga: A Battlefield History in Images), so I was excited to hear about AJ’s project.  So I encourage you to check out AJ’s blog http://historyscout.blogspot.com/ and learn more about his project from the photographer/historian himself.
