Grunge Kids in Fresno's Tower District 1994

In 1994 I shot a few rolls of TMAX in Fresno's Tower District, mostly taking shots at the Grundge kids who hung out outside the now famous Java Cafe.

Retro Signs, Fresno



Over the last year I have worked on a series shooting pics of retro signs that testify to a different era. One day while driving through my home town of Fresno I passed a sign that brought back lots of memories from my childhood. I snapped a photo and posted it on Facebook. A flood of responses from old friends quickly followed. The photo also brought back many memories. Thus far I have shot over 30 retro signs in and around the Fresno area. A few months back I started a series on Bay Area retro signs and put together a Central Coast retro poster.

I believe this was the first, or one of the first, images I posted that started my series on retro signs. Hanoian's is now closed. On Fresno's east side, I remember my mom taking me here when I was very little.   Below are more retro signs from Fresno
