Danny Armstrong (Arlington High School, Class of 1963) recently published a memoir about growing up in Arlington. The book is titled “Rearview Reflections of Arlington, Texas: Short Stories Looking Back on Growing Up in Arlington, Texas in the ’50s & ’60s,” and I was one of the first to get to read it. Thank you, Danny, for sending me a copy!
On this day (02-01-2003) in Arlington’s history, UTA graduate and astronaut Kalpana Chawla tragically died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.
January in Arlington usually has some mild weather to get out and take photos. I mostly photograph architecture and signage, so the majority of these fall into that criteria. Coloring, creative editing, and experimentation were a large part of this month, with fewer black-and-white photos than usual. I also inadvertently created a pinkish aesthetic while editing one of my photos and copied the look to several others.
There were many photos this month that I liked, but these are my ten favorites from January.
One of my favorite things to do is explore Arlington. I took over 1,500 photos of Arlington in 2023—photos of my explorations, discoveries, places I went, everyday things, and everything in between. I especially like architecture and prefer black-and-white photos, so many of my favorites have those characteristics.
These are my favorite 23 photos of Arlington that I took last year. These aren’t necessarily my best; some of them aren’t even that good. Nonetheless, these are the ones that stood out to me the most.
