onasill ~ Catching UP's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

Born in "Canada and living in Toronto" I have an opportunity of visiting our neighbor south of us frequently.
I am a senior (70 yrs ~ as of 2010) who has extensively travelled throughout the United States of
America with my wife, Ruthie (who takes most of the fine detail shots), since
1980. With a passion for photographing architecture (primarily theaters, old signs, small towns, main street America, downtown, Art,
historical sites and interiors ~ I guess I can go on but my postings are mainily Americana), we have ventured around almost the entire
continental U.S. and have extensively documented our experience. Most of
our pictures were originally printed 4x6 photographs that have since
been scanned
and enhanced. After 2003, all our photographs are digital. We love to travel
and meet people who can share unique stories about their home town.

"Catch a ride on Bill’s photostream for a grand tour of North America. See his incredible photos from South Beach to Vancouver and from Toronto to Beverley Hills.

Visit old movie theatres and opera houses, browse through restored train stations and department stores, or stop at one of the many fine hotels, bank buildings, and other structures along the way. Study my favorite architectural style of his photostream, Art-Deco, with both interior and exterior photos.

Then marvel at Bill’s recently developed artistic talent, the treatment and processing of his older scanned print collection along with digital photos from his travels.

You will want to make a daily stop at Bill’s engaging photostream for another enjoyable ride!"

Gallierina says:

"Onasill's photostream is a beautiful journey through North America. He shares with us his passion for architecture, design, especially Art Deco, and ceiling light. His comments about his pictures are most interesting and instructive. He also experiments different kind of processings. If you want to travel without spending anything, visit his photostream, you won't be disappointed!

Besides, Onasill is a very nice person, always encouraging other people with constructive comments.
Thank you, sir!"

"I get to write the first testimonial about onasill. What an honor to describe this wide spread traveler and itinerant photographer and finder of new things. I love his discoveries and his creative take on his finds. I highly recommend looking about and see things you've never seen and well presented. I'll wager you are as inspired as I am.."
