Dayton, OH

I visited Dayton for a quick business trip in 1994. I took my camera with me, but ended up not taking many photos because I didn’t have a car, and it was freezing outside (February). It was the first time I had experienced how cold a North American winter can be. Anyway, these photos are presented mainly for nostalgic value, as it depicted Mid West America in the 1990s before the death of retail.

Note This article is part of our USA Retrospective series, featuring images captured on an early generation Kodak DC220 digital camera with 1280x1024 resolution. The images have post processed to artificially increase sharpness. Please forgive us if they do not meet your expectations of photographic quality.

The last photograph depicted Chicago O’Hare airport as it would have looked in the 1990s captured by a compact camera hand held at long exposure.
