So, first of all I had to go to the Southern Hemisphere to find summer. Thankfully, Buenos Aires cooled down to a reasonable level while I was there, but Montevideo was just plain hot & cloudless on the return trip.I cooled down in Antarctica in between, so it was a good trip. Two things about…
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…
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….
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…

So I started this trip to south Florida back in early November, but got to the first night and started seeing swirls & floaters in my right eye. This led to eye surgery, the holidays & in early January started back out on a modified itinerary. On the first day of the 2nd attempt trip,…
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!…
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…
