Blue Ford Econoline van parked on a Kansas roadside from The Nikon Kidd Original Journey hitchhiking, trainhopping, and vanlife archive.

I recently found a backup of my old computer's hard drive and all of these photos of my hitchhiking, train hopping, and vanlife trips! I've got such fond memories of this time. This is how "The Nikon Kidd" started. I wasn't a professional, I didn't know how to use a camera, and I certainly wasn't shooting weddings. Those things would come later.

These photos were taken with my phone, then a Nikon D3300, and then a Pentax Spotmatic film camera.

This is a document I searched for a long time. The Crew Change is a guide passed around from hobo to hobo that lets you know how and where to catch trains as well as where they're likely headed. It's forbidden to post it on the internet. I've got the first page here just to discourage people who might see this and try to hop trains. They can be extremely dangerous if you don't know the basics.
