The Painted Desert Trading Post Co-op

The Painted Desert Trading Post near Chambers Arizona, flanking the Painted Desert & Petrified Forest National Park. If the old route was still intact going west, this road would run straight into the back of the national park.
This place is beautiful. I never thought I would be able to drive this part of the abandoned overlay of Route 66 again. Thanks to the Painted Desert Trading Post Coop that wish came true. This section of road was Route 66 until the early 50’s, then used as a rural road for some years. Eventually the road deteriorated and was sectioned off by real estate boundaries. Now the Coop owns the section of 66 that the Painted Desert Trading Post straddles and the building is being restored! This is a Route 66 enthusiasts dream come true.

 

Riverside, Route 66 Arkansas River Bridge Tulsa, Oklahoma May 27th 2019

Tulsa Oklahoma, May 27th 2019. This a cartridge of Kodak Ektachrome 100D 7285 I had in my freezer for 8 years. I shot this footage with a Canon 814 XL. I wanted to capture the riverside area flooding on film. There is also some Route 66 attractions included. Was a pretty day for the ominous amount of water in the river, or in this case, out of the river.

 

 

 

 

Some footage from Mayfest from 2018, it won’t be long folks!

The Tulsa Mayfest is a tradition I have enjoyed for decades. Over the years it has evolved styles of art that represent a cross section of influence from that time segment. The feature of the Mayfest that hasn’t changed is that it has always been a place to share changing art forms. The dancing was amazing, and my cinematography doesn’t give it justice. My apologies for the ambient noise. You will just need to show up next year at the right corner.

This footage was recorded at about 3rd and Main on the 18th of May, 2018.
