Forgotten 66

A few years ago, I started a photo series called Forgotten 66.  The idea was to show famous and not so famous landmarks along old US 66.  I wanted to show them as they are now, which sadly is not in very good shape.  There are many more places I want to visit along the Mother Road, but here are a few photographs from a couple of places in the Tulsa area.

The black and white ones are the Tee-Pee Drive In in my hometown of Sapulpa.  It has really fallen on hard times.  They were shot on film, with a Bronica SQb.  Delta 100 Pro film, if I remember correctly.

The color shots are of the famous Blue Whale of Catoosa.  It has been refurbished to look somewhat like it did in it's heyday.  There were even a few tourists visiting while I was there.  These shots are from my new Nikon D90.
