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….
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…

Rolling Stone Starting to Moss Over
So, my last trip to the Congaree National Park in South Carolina found me at a brand new Hilton Garden Inn in Columbia wherein only 3 staff members and virtually no guests wore masks. Food servers wore no masks, One evening the lobby/bar was filled with maskless real estate agents. I said to myself, “Self!…
1… 2… 3… Switch
I’m sure the novel pandemic has driven us all to distraction in more ways than one. My latest is that I’ve been trying to find challenges that don’t require airplane travel. And what I can photograph that takes more work than standing outside a house. (Spoiler alert! My love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright has…
It’s Not You It’s Me
If I’ve seemed a bit distant lately, it’s likely because I’ve been to some of the most remote places on the planet. First I went to the Isle of Horn which is the southern most point of land outside of Antarctica. Then to the most remote airport in the world on Easter Island aka Isla…
