About the Family
I'm Jane La Motte. I inherited my father's collection of slides, mostly 35mm Kodachrome and, yes, some Ektachrome 127, which includes hundreds if not thousands of photos he took as he traveled all over the US in the 1960's and 70's, and as you can imagine, I think they hold historical significance. An accomplished amateur, my father had an excellent eye for content and composition. I may or may not have inherited those qualities--either way, I've certainly inherited his love of images and captured a few of my own.
As an American youth, I was privileged to travel to Berlin via the autobahn known as the Berlin Corridor in 1980. At that time, there were two countries named Germany--one was a thriving landscape in free Western Europe and the other was communist, a Soviet stronghold. The images I took there, when I was 20, that depict life in Pre-Unification Germany are among the ones I am most proud of.
