Opensea NFT Collections by Robert Carlson
These OpenSea collections are the result of my 50 years of travels with my camera. mostly the travel has
been in the ower 48 states, but I did travel internationally a few times and got some really good local
photos in those destinations.
During my travels I have hit all 48 of the lower 48 states and still have the pictures I took at those
times. Due to an unfortunate mishap, my earliest negatives were lost. From that period of time I have only
prints and a few Kodachrome slides. Since one of my passions is the time lapse of sequential visits to the
same subject, there are surviving images of various places.
Gathered here are the selected few of the photos I think you will enjoy seeing. Click on the image to
see details of that picture. Click on the icon at the top right of the image to visit the OpenSea
collection. If you have a compatible crypto wallet you can show me you like the item.
Across the nation there are millions of homes of all descriptions. The front of those dwellings may be plain, contain a stoop by the door, have a covered or uncovered porch or in days mostly gone by, a veranda wrapping around 2 or 3 sides of the house. Some Front Porches are well maintained and decorative while others are places where junk accumulates. This project collects the many instances of front porches and the numerous uses.
Braddock, PA, USA is "The Town That is Being Allowed to Die". Building disappear on a continuing basis as the population declines and everything ages. Attempt to revive and save the Borough have been valiantly fought but time is not on their side.
I traveled a lot during my salary days and always had my camera and logbook packed. The camera captured the images and the logbook retained the Latitude and Longitude so I could recall precisely where the picture was taken. Now today the camera can geocode the digital images automatically. These photographs represent a life of travel.
Disappearing Railroad Blues. Freight lines still crisscross the nation, but passenger service is but a faint memory of what once was THE way to travel in America. Many of these images evoke the memories of those days.
B&W is one way to look at the world. Sepia is another way entirely. The tone
is not merely a "color" it is an emotion itself.

Utility covers, usually round, are strewn around the urban streetscape. They
