Thanks to my friend Larry for sending me this baby. Larry and I, and two friends from Uruguay, connected in Montevideo somewhere around the 2011, 2012, or 2013 timeframe. At least I think it was around that timeframe, which in …
Creative: I’ll Be Back

Adventure: Penn Museum
My last day in Philadelphia so I made a visit to the Penn Museum. The photography conference is over and I am talked out. It is cold here, and just a few short hours ago we were in the middle …

Creative: NoCal Coast

Creative: Notes on Photography, Episode 3
Back by popular demand, Notes on Photography. A blog post about an actual image. I’m not entirely sure but I think this means I’m trending. We are looking at the Grand Canyon, a really, really, really big hole in Arizona. …
