This is the first post to my re-designed website and first-time blog. The purpose of this blog is to generate some energy to push my photography farther than it has been. I don’t mean marketing it as much as I mean expanding my photographic interests. And, creating an expectation among readers that I will do that will give me some not-so-subtle impetus to act.
This website and blog is also meant to show how varied by photographic interests are. I have friends who perceive me to be some landscape photographer. It is what I have done the most and enjoy the most. Others know me from my news days, or as a sports photographer. (This gives me the idea that I should have a gallery of early photography from the 70s and 80s when I was doing much of that).
In the 90s many of my photography friends saw me shooting fine art nudes, even though it meant my candidacy for future public office in my red state was jeopardized . (Uh, that’s supposed to be funny). The 2000s brought much focus on my family and a return to my first interest in photography: exploration of nature and history.
This blog will also explore my thoughts on some political issues, particularly as they pertain to freedom of expression – so as to have some general application to photography.
Anyway, who knows where it goes from here. Wherever that happens to be it will be public for all the internet world to see.
A long time ago and far away (1978)

Oh, come on…….a long time ago?
1978 wasn’t THAT long ago, was it? Wasn’t it just a few years ago when you were spending most of your time in Mitchell Hall on the EOSC campus?
Hard to believe the last 30 years have passed so quickly.
Have enjoyed looking at your photography and reading your blog. As always, your work is top notch.
