In just a couple of weeks I’ll be on my way to the Canadian Rockies. I will fly into Calgary (seen above in a two-shot pano I made on film in 2000) and head west to Banff and Jasper National Parks.

I don’t usually get to shoot much over the winter — my areas of focus don’t tend to include winter sports or much of anything snowy — so I tend to get itchy to be back on the road. This year I welcome the chance to make that happen a little earlier than usual. I’ll be attending a meeting of the Freelance Council of the Society of American Travel Writers and assisting with a couple of professional development sessions. And, of course, making time to get some photography in.

So, in addition to my usual workload, I’ll be tracking down anything that’s wandered off from the camera bag over the winter and getting things packed up for what should be a great trip. I’m also trying to get a few more things done on the new website before I go. Today I’ve posted a new slideshow of images from Switzerland. You’ll find the link on my “images” page here.
