Old School - Emily Boozé

Old School reminds me of alot of things from the 80's and 90's. Big hair, neon colors, MTV, and video games. Sega Genesis is one of the gaming systems that I had and still have to this day. I remember playing Sega almost everyday as a kid. Every kid was at our house taking turns playing on snowy and rainy days. Some times playing Sega would take me away from reality. One of my favorite childhood memories.

The Lake of the Woods Covered Bridge was constructed in 1965 to connect the two sides of Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve in Mahomet, Illinois.  Designed by German Gurfinkel, a Civil Engineering instructor at the University of Illinois, the bridge was a replica of the Pepperel Bridge near Boston. The work took 18 months to complete and cost $55,000; the covered bridge is a relic of the past.   This particular one not built until the mid-1960's, yet is a monument to the memories of another time when people had to construct these to get over valleys and water.  A huge undertaking for those that built it, they likely never considered the valuable landmark it would serve as today.

     Just like the blank pages of a stories we all have a beginning and an end. We have lived in the past, exist in the present and are living for the future.The keys we press are like life's stepping stone. And the words we create form the stories in which we live. Life is what we make it but every now and then, we all could use Inspiration to keep moving forward. You can see this photo and more at beauxsphotography.com

There is nothing like a good old-fashioned covered bridge.  It's quaint and comfortable and rare in the U.S.   Classic!

After buying her "new" record at the music shop across from the park, Kate sits looking back on how music used to be heard around the world through a vinyl record. She loves the old school music back in the 1960's. Everything was new and musicians were setting the standards for today.

As I searched for an "Old School" concept, I thought what better way to gain inspiration than to visit your trustworthy local Goodwill. As I searched for "Old School" objects, I came across an old, wooden tennis racket, and this is what emerged from a simple find of an antique tennis racket. Meet Richie T. Your typical 70s tennis player.

"Old school" a term always changing and evolving just like our daily lives. What might be old school to me could mean something completely different to you, but the fact remains that whatever I think or you think of to be awesome and new now eventually will be "old school" for someone else.  It's hard to wrap my mind around things like an iPad being in the hands of a kindergartener, maybe it is because I think of my experiences as a child that age and that an iPad would probably never have interested me because I was too busy playing with legos or action figures, or maybe it is because I still think of an iPad as an incredibly advanced piece of technology...or maybe even more basic-the freakin' price tag? Whatever the reasons I can't help but start to feel old, and it makes me ask the question: as technology keeps advancing faster and faster how can someone keep up with it and how quickly do things become "old school" in today's society? In a place where society is changing at a rapid pace and it's only limitations are imagination as it would seem, where do we go next? How long before tomorrow's technology is "old school"?

When it comes to architecture, barely any style could be considered more "old school" than the Greek Column, which is a crucial piece in any large Greek structure such as the Parthenon.  The classic style to shoot anything as massive and ancient is to shoot from as low of a vantage point as possible in order to make the structure seem as large as possible.  While this column is not from Greece, it shows the classicism of the style since it is incorporated in many modern homes and structures.

Tinytown is a village near Conifer, Colorado, made up entirely of model buildings.  This old school stands at a grand height of 3 feet.  It is a miniature amusement park designed for families with young children-- they can walk around and observe each building, or take a ride on the miniature train that weaves its way all through the village.  Tinytown is open daily from Memorial Day thru Labor Day.  For more information and to plan a trip, visit their website.

I ran across this quote which peaked my interest in the old west story.

"It was because of my great interest in the West, and my belief that its development would be assisted by the interest I could awaken in others, that I decided to bring the West to the East through the medium of the Wild West Show." Buffalo Bill

In the old mining town of Victor, CO rests an old box car along CO-67S. I traveled around Colorado looking for old school relict's that tell the American Old West story.  Vist Victor, Colorado

Every time I sat down to think about what to do, the first thing that came to mind for Old School was travel. I have no idea why, but I went for it. First I had to figure out what people packed, how they packed it, and what did they pack it in. Once I figured out what each part was it all just came together.

Getting back to your roots doesn't just mean listening to old school jams or examining a toy you found in your mother's basement. It means to indulge in your personal nostalgia. Start off with a freshly squeezed glass of good old fashion orange juice. Get back to your roots. Don't know how? Visit this recipe to make your own.

Looking for a great book to read? Five Quarters of an Orange written by Joanne Harris reminds me of this image and is one of my personal favorites.

Being a product of the 90's, the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the words old school was "The Fresh Prince of Bel-air." I had a great time recreating what I thought was the modern day "Fresh Princess" of Denver.  Here is a link to a website where you can watch episodes of "The Fresh Prince" and relive the good old days. http://www.freshprinceonline.com/

For a class assignment, we had to shoot something that was considered "old skool".  I wasn't quite sure what this meant as old skool could mean many things.  The other day I was at the playground with my kids when my youngest son came up to me wearing this older style "grampa" hat.  My grandfather used to wear similar hats and I always liked trying them on.  The hat brought back childhood memories of spending summers at my grandfather's house and the many smells of his house...some were good smells and others were just downright disgusting.  Especially when he made pigs feet.  While my son is not a grampa yet, his way of wearing it reminded me of something that is old school.

This hat is called a "golf knicker."  If interested in purchasing this style, I recommend visiting Golf Knickers
