Rome as a mosaic
It’s funny, the things you remember about your travels. This morning I was corresponding with my friend Chris about an upcoming trip. I’m flying into Paris, but don’t yet have an itinerary. Germany? Spain? Italy … Rome? Chris extolled the virtues of Rome in winter—and the convenience of the short-hop airlines like Ryanair, EasyJet and […]

Is someone stealing your photos?
When I accidentally documented the 35W bridge collapse in 2007, my photojournalist friends advised me to hire a rights-management agency—and fast. I was grateful for their advice: Within 24 hours, my images were all over the Internet. Most of the online news sites had acquired the photos through the Associated Press. But a handful of […]

In praise of the Icelandic pony
A couple of days ago, I wrote about traveling to Reykjavik, Iceland and the Golden Circle. Today I’m back with the promised follow-up on the inimitable Icelandic horse. First things first: Is the Icelandic a pony—or a horse? That depends on your definition, I suppose. But based purely on size and conformation, let’s say “pony.” […]

Reykjavik and the Golden Circle
I remember being furious as I sat on the bus from Kevflavík airport to Reykjavik, Iceland. The barren, rocky landscape was a stark contrast to the lush beauty of Kent, where Steve and I had just spent a week. Steve had been to Iceland before and he’d extolled the virtues of this small island nation. […]

Memories of Chautauqua
I woke up today thinking about Chautauqua. Since 1874, people have come to this beautiful spot in upstate New York to study, paint, make music, dance, meditate, read—and relax. The 12-week-long personal-growth extravaganza features a different theme each week, and every day brings at least one distinguished speaker. (Jane Goodall, Fareed Zakaria, Al Gore, Ken […]

On this date four years ago, I was among the first to arrive at the scene of the Interstate 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis. I was walking along the Mississippi River with a friend when we heard a muffled “whump.” From our vantage point on the Stone Arch Bridge, we could see only a cloud […]

I was surprised a few days ago to log into my Blurb account and find this comment about my Paris book: Identical images? Really?! My curiosity was piqued. “I’d love to compare our images side-by-side,” I wrote to Keith. What followed was a wonderful, unexpected exchange between two kindred spirits. We have some favorite songs […]

Yet another Paris book. *Yawn.*
I’m the first to admit that I’ve been a bit obsessed over the past couple of weeks. First, I wanted to finish my book of Paris sketches in time for a particular gift-giving occasion. Then, I immediately dove into the next big project. And last night I finally put it to bed. (Please click on […]

Well, this day’s shot …
I’ve often wondered why my eye for photography seems so much sharper when I’m traveling. Today I discovered that it’s all about having the right frame of mind. _________________________________________________________________ Recently, a friend asked me to take some promo shots of the Heights Theatre for an upcoming event. I was actually giddy this morning as I […]

Up, up and away
I’ve heard that the best way to see Sedona’s red rocks is from the air. So for the past few days, I’ve been debating my options: Helicopter? Red-Baron-style biplane? Astral projection? Or hot air balloon? I ruled out astral projection right away. And although the biplane was intriguing, the tour price was based on two […]
