The New York Times’ Lens Blog asked teenagers across the U.S. to submit photos of their hometowns for a project simply called ‘My Hometown.’ Thousands of teens responded to the call, with submissions coming from 45 states. The resulting collection is a yearbook of sorts, documenting the friends, family and places closest to a small sampling of the country’s young people. Lens Blog has published a selection of 145 Editor’s Choice photos, and the whole collection is available online – searchable by student or state. Take a look at a few standouts.

Driving across Australia in a Mercedes W123

04 Jan

My trip accross Australia (Jan 2010) from Perth to Melbourne, in our 1985 Mercedes 230e. Many of the sites are familiar to us Aussies and I didnt think needed any titling. The car averaged overall about 10-11L/100kmh of 98 octane with two male passengers and fully loaded (as moving home!). The final pic shows the overal trip stats, although the fuel cost was not correct. The thunderstorm was just over the SA border from WA. Video (low quality) was with a small Canon IXUS and the still shorts were mainly with a Nikon D90 and 18-200. The clip is an old Australian classic by Icehouse, Great Southern Land.
