I was walking with others and shooting the murals as I could–didn’t have time to pause and look at them. I shot this, but didn’t pay attention at the time. In the quiet of my office this morning I paused and looked at the names of the fallen bomberos from La Boca and remembered them.…

Got to stand at the southern edge of the tropics. For the photo on my desk, I removed the four people behind me from the image. Here, I need to be more real. (near Huacalera in the Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina, 2025)

I read recently that the secret to seeing the Parthenon was to go early in the day. Somehow I was able to follow this advice long before I heard it–tourists were there, but the crowd was not overwhelming. (Rome, Italy, 2012)

I had always wanted to see the Arecibo Observatory. Come to find out–so did my father. Neither of us had been there before so we spent a good portion of the day wandering through the public spaces and looking around. I had seen it featured in films and television shows. I’m glad I got to…

Although it is a “retired lighthouse” it remains a centerpiece in Honolulu Harbor at Pier 9. I have some daytime photos, but I like this one better. (Honolulu, Hawaii, 2008)
