That was the question facing me back in January 2009 while I was on a business trip to Bari in Italy. I’d arrived late the day before, flying from Houston via Atlanta, and Rome, and then […]

This iconic structure has now soared above the Champ de Mars for over 120 years. Not bad for a temporary installation. The first time I visited Paris it was the first place I went. I dropped my […]

The Calgary Tower opened to the public on June 30, 1968. At that time is was the tallest building in Canada west […]
I’m guessing I visited the Angkor Wat main complex in 1993. I base this guess on the slides in my library that precede and follow these. My metadata from back then consistsd of the notes I took at the time. If I took any notes of this trip, then I’m misplaced them. To me, that’s my answer to people who say you shouldn’t be experiencing life through the viewfinder or the screen of your phone. I think they’re missing the […]
These feel like weird times we’re living through, don’t they? Over the last few years what we took to be societal norms seem to have been upended: with Trump in the White House and Boris J. in Number 10, the hottest July on record, the Amazon on fire, and Brexit just around the corner (maybe). In keeping with this weirdness I chose an inappropriate title for this photo. Upskirting is not appropriate at any time, of course but I felt […]
