Excerpts from a Geographer's Photo Archive
I’ve also been thinking of the great places I’ve had great pizza. Like this one on my first full day in Argentina. I knew the pizza would be good since so many Italian immigrants came to the country at the same time they came to the United States. (Buenos Aries, Argentina, 2025)
The statue has its fans and detractors, but I like it combined with the Milwaukee mural across the river. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2026)
If your first married home is a residence hall, why not the 2nd one. We lived in Baker Hall in 1986-87 at Ohio State. It is a sprawling low building that is impossible to get a good photo of. I was on campus for a conference when I got this one (Columbus, Ohio, 2019)
It was just 40 years ago today on a sunny Saturday afternoon that Kathleen and I were married here. St. Patrick’s was the first English speaking parish on the south side of Milwaukee. This building has been on the corner of 7th and Washington since 1893. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2023)
This alley is the full package, murals, colorful lanterns, and next to a coffee shop. It’s the type of space that you would marvel at if you were a tourist. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2025)
Along the same wall as yesterday there is another mural honoring labor, work, and workers. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2025)
After coffee at at The Daily Bird be sure to go back in the alley to check out the murals. They are some of the best in Riverwest. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2025)
I love it when I travel and I come across an alley full of murals and color. I stop, appreciate it, and perhaps take a photo. In this case this alley is about a mile from my home and I can walk over and appreciate it. After I walk over I can grab a cup of coffee and baked goods at The Daily Bird.

One of the most surprising things about the Arizona sabbatical was how much Rob the Hound Dog loved to lay by the pool (he never went in). We would have to force him inside so he didn’t overheat. (Tempe, Arizona, 2004)
I’m a great fan of train travel and I use trains whenever I can. When I was in college it was the easiest and cheapest way for me to get back home. I was meeting someone for coffee in Tosa and the Empire Builder buzzed by me. I thought that it has been too long since I’ve taken the train west. (Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, 2024)
