Tourist Trap 2

Whenever I travel, I fear people putting the label "tourist" on the photographs I take. I want them to be better than that.

There was nothing to fear in Watertown, NY. It is a small town and had a few monuments and statues. There was lots of Victorian era architecture and a famous battleground somewhere nearby.





The architecture reminded me of movies. There was the "Psycho" house. One for "Pollyanna". Another screamed "Poe". Surely, "The Munsters" had their house here. There were more. We do not have houses like these in Mesa.

To assuage my fears, I appointed myself the role of National Geographic apprentice wantabe. At least I had an audience at home waiting to see my pictures: my friends and  family. My pictures will tell them the story of the last three weeks in a small New York town. You can see more here if you want. I am still editing photos, so check back later.
