Traveling Year/Drawing Board

It’s been a big year. Big for travel: 32,691 miles (52,611 kilometers). Big for photography: two gallery shows, a documentary project, lots of valuable criticism. For family: moved my mom (now engaged) into a new house, swept through 30 states plus Alberta on a father-son photographic journey of epic proportions. For business: upgraded my gear and got some commercial work here in the good old USA. All of these things could make a boy tired, no?

I tried to find an image to sum up the last twelve months, one with me in it, maybe where I had captured part of myself that I hadn’t meant to show. I found this, a snapshot taken from a Greyhound bus on the Gulf Coast headed to Mobile to see my dad on November first. A year of gasoline. A year of waiting.

 

 

I find myself in New England enjoying a measure of stability. This site will serve both as a record of my work up to this point and as a blog. For now, thanks for stopping by! I’ll try to get a substantial number of posts together before I direct you, friends, back here with the hope that you’ll come often.

Nice to see y’all. Don’t be strangers now.

    And thanks for posting some memories of Dad’s funeral, your quote for the burial shot turned in the waterworks. In a good way. :)
