It’s been another busy week but one filled with good news. Not least of which was that the above photo of Native American dancers at the Cortez Cultural Center in Colorado earned me the “Photographer of the Year” award from the Central States Chapter of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW). Thanks, folks!
All good […]

Self-serving horn tootin’
28May08Crunch time
18May08Sorry for my absence this week but it’s been hectic to say the least. I’ll (hopefully) appease you with another weather shot from our stay on Mt. Magazine in Arkansas last weekend.

Foremost among those was the Clinton Presidential Library. My scouting shot is […]
The other Miami
05May08On the road again. Spent some time yesterday at the beautiful Coleman Theatre in Miami, Oklahoma, shooting interiors and exteriors. There’s some great stuff backstage — old light boards, organ pipes and 1920’s-style dressing rooms. Lots of fun.
On to Arkansas…
