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…
Leica Q2 – Monochrom Test
In a way, a Leica was my first camera. I borrowed my father’s which had a lens that would pop out of the camera and his light meter. I’d get a light reading, choose the settings and shoot. I loved it in weird ways that only geeks understand. Leica has ruled street photography & news…

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…

If At First You Don’t Succeed…
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,…
