Welcome.

It is 2011, and I am at once mystified and elated by this. I do not know how so much time has slipped by unnoticed. But, I feel that some unbelievable something must be just around the corner. Ten years ago we did not have iPods. Not that they changed the world, but they sort of changed the world. What will that thing be in 10 years?

These are thoughts I am thinking today as I brush off this old site and try to breathe new life into it. The concept is simple. I stopped writing because it was too reminiscent of a time in my life when my family was whole and I was happy. So much has changed. I can see happy on the horizon, and so I think maybe hope is in the same wagon and they will both come to me at once. If not, there is always a horizon. I started taking pictures to fill the void – to vent my creative steam. There was not a plan in place – I got a camera and started learning how it worked. Recently this idea has been rolling around in my head that I could combine the two. Writing about the pictures I take – telling stories that are, if not directly related, at least tangentially related to the pictures.

I’m going to start with the images below – my favorites from 2010. If, along the way, I take an amazing shot that inspires some prose, I’ll throw that in as well. The departure time is set, and we have a rough idea of the destination, and some things we want to see along the way. Otherwise, it’s just the open road, for how ever long it takes.

Thanks for stopping by. Please enjoy.
