Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

15 Years Gone
It was on this date in 1994, I boarded a Delta Airlines flight from JFK to Frankfurt en route to Prague. It is one of the seminal events in my life. It is still the date that I use to separate old Dan from new Dan. I won't go into too much depth here, but my trip to New York and Prague changed me, I was new again and the life I live now, largely is a result of that trip and the years that have followed. It has been as if the experiences and some of the people I encountered prior to this time were just practice. New Dan embraced the unknown and a uncharted path, to the point that offers to live and work in New York, were passed upon, partly due to the timing of events and partly because, at that time, I needed to stand alone and be something. I can say that I never got to the point of seriously questioning not leaving NYC, however I was close enough to that point that if I allowed myself the time to really think about it, I would have probably stayed. But hey I went to Prague, so here are some pictures from the world's most beautiful city.
