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,…
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…
All Is Wright In the World
Since Macon is a Hot Spot – both for Corona & weather – I went in search of comfort in the form of people who wear masks early & often, & some significant things (Frank Lloyd) Wright in this world.

Keeping Mackinac Strait
So, shortly after the 4th of July, I hit the road in search of Frank Lloyd Wright houses & cooler temperatures and succeed on both fronts.

Non-Travel Post
I have now canceled or postponed 4 trips, but that hasn’t stopped me from self-isolating in my car and taking pictures around Georgia. Lots of sunrises & sunsets… spent a couple of nights in my car so that I could be close to places to shoot. It’s all what I do to maintain my sanity….
Shamrock N Ride 2020
We had a fun day being outdoors. The sun came out and it was a bit warm, but that’s March in Macon. Mad props to everyone who did NOT stay in bed this morning, although we even had some latecomers who said that their other plans got cancelled. I especially tip my hat to those…
I took my Canon to Cannon Beach
So, Oregon mostly lived up to it’s reputation for a wet, gray winter, but that just made it all the more spectacular when the sun came out or the odd wind surfer in almost gale force winds. Related Images:
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…
