It’s time for another adventure on the open backroads of this wonderful county. Our new trip begins almost a year from the last, traveling from Atlanta, GA to Oklahoma City, OK. Peep continued without me, on a solo tour all the way back to Bellingham, WA.
This FMS Tour will begin and end in Las Vegas, NV making a loop thought AZ, UT and NV. The goal will be to travel on the secondary roads to engage with the little seen areas and hit a few National Parks along the way. Peep and I will meet at the airport in Las Vegas on May 17, 2023, rent a capable vehicle and head out of town after a solid lunch. I’m hoping for Jimmy Johns, but I think Peep is wanting Panda Express. In any case, grabbing a few Bang energy drinks for the drive is high on the priority list before leaving Sin City in the rear view mirror.
While the focus will be capturing images with vintage lenses, we had upgraded our kits to the Fujifilm GFX system with appropriate adapters for Mamiya 645, Pentax 6×7 and 35mm SLR lenses. We are very excited to put the system through it’s paces under real world scenarios.
The exact route isn’t planned yet and most likely will be more of a general direction than a destination, so we can be open to last minute light chasing down dusty gravel roads.
Be sure to follow our Instagram account @ForgottenMainStreet for updates along the way. If you have ideas of those off the beaten path must see to believe places, shoot us an email or DM on Instagram.
We also just launched our new SWAG SHOP with shirts that let other understand your passion for vintage lenses.
