So, my life is reduced cherry picking countries in the world & taking a quick trip to them. Having been to 68 countries in the world, Colombia looked good for #69. It was just a 4 1/2 hour flight from Atlanta & I decided to spend 3 nights in Bogotá. I won’t really pretend I’ve…

Hours In a Tin Can On the Tundra
I am returning home from a very intense 7 day trip to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. Being from Georgia, any time spent where the sun is only visible for 8 hours a day and exposed skin while outside is in danger of freezing, but add to that spending said 8 hours in a school bus on…
Peru & the Amazon River
As I write this I am just returning from visiting my 68th country, exploring Lima & spending 5 days on a boat on the Amazon River during the not-as-wet-as-the-other season. In the really wet season the water is 30-40′ higher and the difference causes animals to change what they eat and how they defend themselves….
Easter In Spain
Two years ago I was supposed to go to northern Spain for Easter. This year I finally got to do it. For towns in the Basque region and all over Spain this is like their Spring festivals and they parade and put on reenactments with great fervor. The hoods and robes that they wear when…
Family Return to My & the American Past
So, this Christmas I traveled to Boston, Framingham & western Massachusetts for the holiday. I lived for some of my formative years in Framingham and I derived great enjoyment by taking them to my past and some of the oldest places created by European culture in the US. International travel in 2022 promises to continue…
Books (and possibly other items) For Sale
I have two books and assorted prints for sale. Most of the prints are one offs from shows that I have left over. I’m going to start with the books and then figure out a way to put in the one off things. Buy Buy Buy!!!
Buckaroo Bonzai Across the Balkans During COVID
The countries of the Balkan region have been used and abused by every major power since recorded time began. Currently, they are taking a break from beating up on each other while trying to join the EU and NATO. I decided that COVID-wise they are not more dangerous than my hometown and took the opportunity…
A Return to Travel
Latest news from me is that I have been on an airplane to Maine (see pictures). I have other trips planned which I’ll cover below, but I have also several shows and a book coming up soon. The book, entitled Georgia Courthouses – An Aerial View of History, is my first attempt at a truly…
Boarding Soon?
So, I am fully vaccinated and before they tell me that I have shed all my antibodies I’m getting on a plane!!! Certain eye problems have slowed me down so this may not actually take place until late June, but I have been making road trips. Two favorites within a 3 hour drive are St…
Beating Boredom In My Backyard
So, I’ve been home for about 2 weeks now while Spring started breaking out here in Georgia. To that end, I set up a bird feeder a few yards from the house and am taking advantage of floor to ceiling windows to shoot the birds. I still haven’t gotten the hang of identifying birds, but…
