Angela, Grand Canyon, 2008 By Jeff Stanford, 2024

I met Angela in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 4th, 2008, the night Barack Obama won his first election. I was on a two-month long road trip from New Jersey to the West Coast and back after the funeral of my youngest brother. I was lucky to be working for myself as a web developer with some wonderful customers that I only needed to meet IRL a couple of times a year. One to three hours a day working on projects was enough to keep me financially free so I would do that first in the morning and then either move on or stay someplace to see the sights. I also discovered a couple of sites where I could meet up with women at each destination who might like to show me around. I always made it clear that I was on a road trip and only around for a short while, but I was surprised by the number of people who replied. So, in Las Vegas it was Angela I met, and we hit it off wonderfully. Originally, I was supposed to meet up with my best friend, Mick, from England but he could not make it at the last minute. Angela was a great host and even though I never made a single bet I had a great time in all the clubs, bars, casinos, and restaurants in Vegas we visited. Eventually when it was time me to leave Angela and her daughter Jessica followed along as far as Memphis.

Frida Kahlo 1928 By Jeff Stanford, 2023 Buy prints at: https://jeff-stanford.pixels.com/ Backstory: Imagined I was working as an apprentice to the Italian photographer Tina Modotti in Mexico City in 1928. She was a good friend of Frida Kahlo and let me test my skills as a photographer by taking Frida’s portrait. Frida was very nervous because it was on such a bus that she had her famous accident.
