From 1975 to 1979 I lived in Duluth, Minnesota, overlooking the entrance to the Duluth Ship Canal. It was easy to photograph the ships entering the harbor. The Duluth photos were all taken from 1976 to 1979. The earliest photos were taken with a half-frame camera. The prints were not very good quality, so the [...]

My grandfather, Cecil Amos Todd, was born in Red House, West Virginia, in 1890. I’ve included photos I took in Red House many years ago, plus a 1947 family photo I copied. James Todd, my great-great-great-great grandfather, was one of the Virginia Militia who fought at Point Pleasant, and whose name appears on the monument. [...]

These are BW photos I took during that trip. I played trumpet. In 1967 I rented [...]

In June, 1971, I began hitch-hiking across America from Phoenix, Arizona. This album shows the first part of my journey, from Tempe up to the Grand Canyon, where I hiked down the South Rim and up the North Rim before resuming my hitching-hiking. I spent a week at the bottom. Regrettably, I only had one [...]

This is Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, and Disney Studios in Orlando, Florida, taken in summer, 2009, unless otherwise noted. Amy Todd appears in many of these. I have added digital copies of older photos from visits in the 1980s & 1990s, along with a few from Disneyland California in 1976. Photos from [...]
These photos were all taken on the “Garden Island” of Kauai, mostly showing beautiful scenery. Many were taken from a helicopter. Some of these sites should be familiar, as they were featured in a number of movies and television shows. I took the photos in 2000. I have additional albums for Oahu and Hawaii, the [...]

I took the photos in 2003. I have additional albums for Oahu and Kauai. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, [...]

These are mostly scenic photos of the Colorado Rockies. In the 1970s I worked sometimes at a camp (Bear Trap Ranch) in the mountains near Colorado Springs. Cripple Creek and Victor were old gold mining towns at a fairly high elevation (nearly 3 km). Garden of the Gods has some pretty amazing rock formations. Photos [...]
These are mostly scenic photos of West Coast states: California, Oregon, Washington, & Alaska. The faded photos date from 1976. The Alaska photos are from a layover during a flight from China to America in 1991. I took the Mount Saint Helen’s photos just after learning my dad had passed away in 2000, so my [...]
