A room with a view
If you have never used AirBnB then you need to start. If you love travel, it’s becoming the smart way to get really great accommodation in some of the best locations, at a fraction of the price you would pay at a hotel. This is…
Blue Ridge Parkway in Autumn
Sometimes we don’t spend enough time in our own backyard. I keep wanting to spend more time in Smokies during the Fall and I keep failing at my goal. I did get out for a day last year with a buddy and we traveled a…
Chattanooga through the Prism of the IronMan Triathlon
Last we took the hour and a half ride down to Chattanooga with my son (who now lives in SFO). He was participating in the Ironman Triathlon. I really like the downtown Chattanooga. I think they have done a better job than Knoxville, but my…

Scottsdale, Arizona – the playground of the wealthy
I had to attend a conference at the Four Seasons (I know, someone has to do it) in Scottsdale, Arizona. For once I had my wife with me which was fantastic. I get tired of traveling alone. This was the view from the balcony. The…
Nature in all its glory – a downpour at home
We had a major downpour and I made sure I was home safely and dry. I could sit under our back porch and take this shot in comfort.
Abandoned boat on a canal in Amsterdam
I never tire of going to Amsterdam. The city is so interesting and feast for a photographer. What makes it so quaint is that the canal system is a living and breathing system, used on a daily basis by residents. This little boat looked like…
