Spotting laundry on the line is a traveling hobby. This one was a particular good morning for it and this was my best shot from my vantage point on Las Setas. There is something special about the smell of clothes off the line. There is also something wonderful about the visual of the clothes blowing…

A friend called me a few weeks ago and asked if I wanted to have dinner at Real Chili. It had been a while since I’ve sat down to this Milwaukee classic dish. If you know it, you love it or you know someone who loves it. The simple counter, the bright lights, and the…

A couple years ago I wrote about my affection for this mode of transportation. Now that I’ve moved back into the city I think I will start using them again. They are inexpensive and pragmatic. Yeah, that sounds like me. (Reykjavik, Iceland, 2026)

Juan Arctic (@juan_arctic) is one of my favorite muralists. I walked by his work nearly every day when I lived in Reykjavik. He is playful, aware of context, colorful, and just fun. When I was in town this spring, I was please to find a new work near my hotel. (Reykjavik, Iceland, 2026)

This guy with his cane and headphones just said to me that someone he lives with told him to take his cane when he went out for coffee at La Biela–he complied. However they didn’t tell him to use it. (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2026)

I can’t remember which caught my eye first–the truck or the mural. I have shots of both art pieces. I was also impressed by the parking job and how close the truck was to the car in front of it. (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2025)

It’s an old drug store and I was taking some images of it and I wanted some of the name stone across the top. It’s no surprise that the name of the store and “drugs” are etched in stone. Seeds surprised me. I’m sure they sold them, but putting it in stone also says something…

One of the locals I know recommended El Imperio. When i walked in, it had all the earmarks of great pizza. The decor was simple and functional. The pizza kitchen was in the open and set up for high production. We were there early (about 8:00 p.m.) so we got a good table and this…

We moved back to Milwaukee and I was the coordinator for this residence hall complex. Our apartment was in the small tower. We were next door to the campus police station. We have never had a safer location. This isn’t my photo–this is a scan of the post card we gave students. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1988)
