Well, three more days and I head out. Sorry that this blog hasn’t been updated in a few weeks…I’ve been busy.
Norwich for contra dancing (no I didn’t dance, I shot); Montpelier for a meeting with the Secretary of State (it wasn’t planned, i dropped by); Barre to pick out stone with Louis; Northhampton, East Corinth, Windsor, Washington, Barnard, Chelsea…well, you get the picture…I’ve been to alot of places in this state.
It’s been a good ... Read Full Story
“A tourist doesn’t know where he’s been, a traveler doesn’t know where he’s going. I kinda like that. It’s the quote you’ll see on the header of each page of this blog as well as the “tagline” in my semi-regular newsletter. I don’t know much about the history of the quote, I’ll have to look that up someday; in the meantime, I like it.
These days I find myself in Vermont. The land of maple syrup, Green Mountain Boys, Bob New... Read Full Story
Recently a friend of mine posted something on her wall that got people talking. She asked about racism. She seemed to think that since the ugliness and violence of racism that happened in the 50s and 60s (and earlier and later) wasn’t occuring now, that racism must be a thing of the past…and she asked for others’ opinions.

Experience. Dream. Risk. Close your eyes and jump. Enjoy the freefall. Choose exhilaration over comfort. Choose magic over predictability. Choose potential over safety. Wake up to the magic of everyday life. Make friends with your intuition. Trust yhour gut. Discover the beauty of uncertainty. Know yourself fully before you make promises to another. Make millions of mistakes so that you will know how to choose what you really need. Know when to hold on and when to let go. Love ... Read Full Story
Remember the other day when this lil ol’ blog almost hit 20,000 readers for the day?
I won a cup of coffee on that. I think I’m going to make another bet with my buddy today.
Just checked the stats before I shut down the computer and grabbed the camera. Yep, it see it right…29,603 viewers so far today and apparently still climbing.
I’m going to enjoy the coffee I have this morning as a result of winning this little bet with him.
“Have a nice day!”

If you’re even in Asheville, NC take a few minutes of your time and stop by and visit my buddy James. Just a few short miles east of Asheville you turn left just past the Veterans Hospital. Follow the narrow, winding, two-lane-country-road for about two miles and then turn left on the last dirt road you see and stay on it for another mile or so. Read Full Story
Yah…you red the hedline right…FREE POSTERS. You can download them at my gallery, www.JourneyAmerica.org and all you have to do is print them out. If you want them full size (20″x30″) and don’t have a printer that can handle that, I’d suggest Sam’s Club. They’re quick and inexpensive. Read Full Story
You know, we’ve got alot of “experts” running around today. Talking about the economy, war, weather, global warming and so on.
Whenever I hear someone…usually a college educated twit who has never experienced the real world…quote an “expert”, I cringe.
Over the years, experts have said some pretty ludicrous things:
“… after a few more flashes in the pan, we shall hear very little more of Edison or his electric lamp. Every claim he makes... Read Full Story
So this morning I’m talking with Jon over my ever present cup of coffee. He’s a friend of mine here in town that shoots for a competing paper. We (good-naturedly of course) have a running competition to see whose photos get the most runs and stuff and he usually beats me. Not because my work isn’t good…of course I’m going to say mine is just as good as his, but he’s got connections with lots of press outlets that I can only dream about. Read Full Story
Yesterday, I’m sitting at a street cafe with a friend of mine drinking a cup of coffee and waiting on some things to start happening so we can get some shots…him for a national magazine he works for and me for a little local paper. Read Full Story
