Posted on September 4, 2014 by Joe_Williams

We know that John Capewell has been to Niagara Falls before, and I have a feeling that this is from one of his trips up there. I’ve never been up there so I can’t say definitively, but I think it’s … Continue reading →

Today’s post features another one of John Capewell’s glass negatives taken while John was traveling and seeing the sites. It’s hard to tell, but it looks to be Capewell on the left of the cannon in which case, some friend … Continue reading →

I’m Leaving It All Up to You!

Posted on July 24, 2014 by Joe_Williams

A River or a Creek

Posted on July 17, 2014 by Joe_Williams
