Kathleen and I were on a trip through upstate New York early in our relationship. Too bad there isn’t a better shot of the Buttermilk Falls (Buttermilk State Park, Ithaca, New York, 1984)

I know that Kathleen and I were traveling in the early 2000s and we were re-tracing a trip from 1984. I thought I knew where this was, but when I went to check, I didn’t have a location and couldn’t track it down. It might be near Ithaca. (Somewhere in upstate New York, 2000)

This past year I’ve been to some impressive waterfalls. It made me reminisce about “waterfalls I have visited.” Expect more waterfalls this week. Here I’m 16 here and I’m at La Coca Waterfall at El Yunque, which is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. (El Yunque National Forest, Puerto Rico, 1976)

Yesterday I wrote about a place I’ve photoed and re-photoed over and over. I’ve wanted to get back here, but each time I was in Vik, I just didn’t make it back to this spot. I love this shot, but I would love to see it in different light and conditions as well. (Dyrhólaey, Iceland…

Kathleen’s dad shot this during the 1964 World’s Fair. We found it in a box of old slides. We have it hanging on the wall in the house. What we love is how the people are dressed and are interacting in the photo. (New York, New York 1964)

I’ve traveled with a lot of people over the years. None match traveling with Kathleen. A friend captured us wandering up the hill. (Sedona, Arizona 2005)

I was taking a photography class my senior year of college. Kathleen and I were out on a cold February day. I spent a lot of time working this print in the darkroom. I got an A on the project–probably because Kathleen makes my photos (and my life great). Happy Birthday Kathleen! (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1985)

I’ve climbed a short distance up a glacier and it is no small task. The helicopter ride might have been an easy way to get here, but well worth the trip and the view. (Mendenhall Glacier, 2012)

I love Washington Square Park. It’s a place for people. This was a cold day in February, but the sun was out and so were people. However every time I’m there I hear the song that references the “crummy hotel over Washington Square. (New York, New York, 2019)

Changes in the urban landscape are often subtle–but look for them. The street is more defined as the city has worked to control and slow traffic. There is also a stand of rented bikes as the transportation culture changes. There are more taxi cabs than the 2009 photo (I have no explanation for that). (New…
