We were certainly fortunate to have the opportunity to meet and visit the People of Spain just a few short weeks ago. In fact, we left there on 3/4, just days before the Coronavirus struck its full force. The people of Spain we met left an imprint on Judy and I. They are in our thoughts at this time, as well as all those suffering around the world.
We are so fortunate to have the Art Institute of Chicago in our community. We always love taking the opportunity to visit there to see the various exhibits AND to give me a chance to photograph the environs. If you live in or visit Chicago, I highly recommend stopping by as frequently as possible! (more…)
I have to admit that I really like this photo which I took recently in NYC under a tunnel in Central Park. So, I’m going to show how it came to be…the evolution of an image. (more…)
Now THIS is a Street Scene (taken with a new lens)
I must admit that part of the fun with photography is the gear. And some of the most fun pieces of equipment are lenses. New lenses means new perspective and coverage. (more…)

Photo of Liberty Bell Used for the Cover of Journey Magazine
This photo I took of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is actually one of my favorites.

As usual, I have a story about the photo AND how it ended up on the cover. (more…)
Someone recently remarked to me that I am a people photographer. Funny…I don’t think of myself that way. I DO like photographing people, but I also enjoy the act of taking and making all kinds of photos. So, I decided that I would go out and find some street art in the Little Vietnam neighborhood of Chicago while Judy was leading a book club nearby. (For those who don’t know, Little Vietnam is between Sheridan and Broadway on Argyle.) Read on to see what happened! (more…)
One more blog post with photos of More People of Cuba. Irresistible! Even though we’ve been home for over a month, I still have vivid and strong memories of our visit. And I’m so glad I have a large collection of photos to keep the memories and feelings alive! Hope you enjoy them, too. I’m going to display more photos with less commentary this time and refer you back to the previous blog post for more detailed descriptions and explanations. (more…)
