Los Colores de Coahuila - Film from the Freezer

Paleteria.  Sabinas, Coahuila, Mexico, April 2002

I don't plan on leaving this earthly realm like Eggleston, leaving over 1,000 rolls of film in the freezer.  In fact, I am now below 90.  Just picked up this somewhat faded, but nonetheless sweet frozen treat from Walgreen's just today.  After nearly a decade in the Frigidaire, this one still makes my mouth water.

Rediscovered Negatives: Los Colores de Coahuila

Sabinas, Coahuila, April 2002

This photograph of a well-worn -- but still very sweet -- 1964 Plymouth Valiant was featured in Los Colores de Coahuila on my defunct website, which due to the vagaries of the buyout of FlashNet by Prodigy, the buyout of Prodigy by SBC Global, and the buyout of SBC Global by AT&T, has become impossible to remove my primitive and outdated site from the Internet -- whenever I telephone the customer service people at AT&T, they never even heard of FlashNet, nor have the faintest notion whom I should call, as we cancelled our FlashNet account in 2004.

Still, I love the juxtapositions of color from this print:  Deep aquamarine blue against pale salmon, and loam green and golden amber competing for the eye's attention.

Welcome to Robert Jones Photo

Hello, everybody. I created this blog as a companion to my website, www.robertjonesphoto.com.

Check here often for updates on my blog articles at Conservative Punk and Liberatchik, newly-published photographs, and my latest photo documentary projects.

I will also be using this blog for sacred cow tipping, re: the art and fine-art photography worlds. Let's just say that I won't be speaking of Ansel Adams, Nick Brandt, and Susan Sontag in hushed, reverential, tones.

Most importantly, I will be updating readers on the latest developments on my book project. Please stop by often for the latest news.
