You can just barely see my reflection there! 😆

Bruce W. Falk, wearing a parka, standing before a guard fence in a high spot on Umnak Island (in the Aleutian Island chain). Stormy-looking clouds filled the sky, and a snow-plastered volcano showed on the horizon. -JBF

Thanks for the comment! It's got that late afternoon lighting... I agree with the liminal idea! Those empty places always feel a little haunted... 👻

Reflections and an empty store; 10-4-26. I took this with my old digital camera. #empty #portlandoregon

It's a cool area to hang out in -- I've been going to the theatre off and on since the early 2000s. I grew up in the wilds of Clackamas County -- the theatre I went to most often was the old Mt. Hood (still operating) in Gresham.

Twilight magic hour; 10-4-26. The cart held some sticks of incense sending fragrance into the autumnal air... The guy with the cart suddenly walked away rapidly. #goldenhour #portlandoregon #streetphotography #sunset

A vertical sign reading Hollywood, and the ornate top of the 1920s Hollywood Theatre building in Portland, Oregon, appear in the photo. A low fan palm tree and a man with a cart are in the foreground, while Sandy Boulevard recedes toward a vanishing point, in the direction of the setting sun. -JBF

Definitely. That must have been a tough task!

I just realized the woman on the right was probably my grandmother -- seated in a wheelchair. I hadn't seen a picture of her from that time frame before.

A detail from a photo of my father (in the white tshirt), great-aunt Magda, her husband (I think), a woman I don't recognize, and my grandfather. The location was probably the Oregon coast; circa early 1950s. #analogphotography #blackandwhitephotography #negative

Strange clouds and quite eerie colours this morning on Glastonbury Tor. This photo was taken about 30 minutes after sunrise. It was quite misty on the ground and very hazy but still made for a lovely way to start the week.

A slide photo by my father; showing me (in the blue jacket), with my sister and my mother; Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada; August, 1969. We were on a family trip. All of the 70s stretched ahead... #35mm #35mmfilm #analogphotography #alberta #canada #roadtrip #slidephoto

A slide photo by Bruce W. Falk, with pale colors, showing a family trio, as small figures before a vast lake and the soaring, glaciated peaks of the Canadian Rockies. -JBF

Thanks for the comment! 😀I'm not sure my dad realized at the time just how cool some of these shots were.

adalbertbruce @adalbertbruce.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I should have been a little more specific in the description -- my dad was the one who took the picture. The guy in the leather jacket was a co-worker of his (on the project they were working on in Alaska). I don't know his identity. Yeah, with the leather jacket, I can sense some James Dean vibes.

A photo of my mother; circa late-1940s, unknown location (possibly Portland, Ore., or Vancouver, Wa.)/photographer. That's a solid-looking auto (per visual search, probably a circa-1947 Cadillac). From a negative. #analogphotography #blackandwhitephotography #negative #vintagecar

A vintage photo of Hazel M. Falk; smiling slightly, standing with one hand on a shiny luxury vehicle (probably a circa 1947 Cadillac). A multi-dwelling building provided the backdrop. -JBF

A photo of me, by Roman Scott: Pearl Street Mall, Boulder, Co., April, 1985. Thanks to Dave Scott. I checked the boxes for dwelling in hippie college towns in the 80s (both Boulder, and Eugene, Ore.). #analogphotography #believeinfilm #blackandwhitephotography #boulder #colorado

A photo of me, with long hair, caught mid-blink. I wore a polo shirt; with hands in pockets. A mix of older buildings with shops, and a tall newer building, along with leafless trees, rose behind. A few pedestrians and people sitting on benches appeared as well. -JBF
