They Passed This Way...

​"Between 1831 and 1839, the United States government forced thousands of Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), Chickasaw, and Seminole from their ancestral homelands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).

​Little Rock and North Little Rock served as a major crossroads, where thousands of individuals on both land and water routes converged to cross the Arkansas River.

Traveling by foot, wagon, and steamboat under harsh, grueling conditions, thousands perished along the way, while those who survived faced the monumental task of rebuilding their nations.

This forced migration became known as the Trail of Tears."

In my native country, Canada, June is National Indigenous month

My mind has always been very heavy on the treatment of indigenous people, specifically in Canada and the United States.

I Stand with the Indigenous people.

"We carve paths through the earth and build bridges to conquer the sky, yet time claims them both in silence.

The concrete stains like old memories, heavy and weathered, while the road pulls us forward into the unknown.

It is the quiet tragedy of human ambition: we create beautiful thresholds, only to pass beneath them and leave them behind."

What can you do when your good isn't good enough

And all that you touch tumbles down?

Cause my best intentions keep makin' a mess of things

But how many times will it take?

Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?

So I throw up my fists, throw a punch in the air

And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair

Yeah, I'll send out a wish, yeah, I'll send up a prayer

And finally someone will see how much I care.

"There is a haunting poetry in what we leave behind.

This weathered red wood is a vessel for ghosts we aren't ready to let go of, keeping watch over a forest lost to time.

To look at it is to remember a version of ourselves that no longer exists, trapped in a season that will never return."

I think there is something beautifully bittersweet about train tracks.

They remind me that to get anywhere in life,

I have to keep moving forward, even if it means leaving the scenery I love behind."

When I think about trains,

I realize trains carry more than just passengers; trains carry longings, quiet goodbyes, and the heavy, hopeful weight of coming home.

The train tracks always know the way.

This speaks to me.

It makes me think of a time when we were better to each other.

Before social media existed.

When we used to have real conversations with each other, face to face.

I'm clearly not meant for this time.

If you look closely at the very bottom of the vertical section, just above the lower decorative bars, there is a small manufacturer's stamp. It reads "TEXLITE"

​Texlite (Texas Neon Advertising Company) was a famous Dallas, Texas-based sign company founded in the 1920s.

​They were renowned for high-quality porcelain enamel and neon signs across the American South and Southwest.

This was likely made in the 1940's

I love cameras. 📸

This is one of my favorite cameras.

I had a local business in Texas do a 3D print of this camera.

I'm really happy with it.

We spend our lives waiting for the sun to return, never realizing that the moon is the only one who stayed through the dark.
