Hello Again
I’m resuming my blog called: “Word and Image” after a 5 year hiatus. Some of you are reading this for the first time … Welcome! My last blog on May 03, 2019 with the title: “Things Are Not Always Clear” was the end of a season and the earliest transition of a nine month journey…

Things Are Not Always Clear At The Time
A year ago a friend and I arrived at Dublin Airport in Ireland and looked to meet up with our driver Ted, our navigator for the next 10 days, as we visited previously selected sites courtesy of the Irish Tour Company that we worked with.

A Man and His Sons
February is a frequent birthday month in our small family, including my own, so I gave myself a two week sabbatical from blogging. I pinpoint the time that I became a photographer to the Spring of 2008, when I took my year old digital point and shoot camera to Seattle with me on a…

Calm
I have often driven myself into a frenzy because I have a “big” something to do. A big project, a big presentation, a big deadline … and so on. I remember the day that I took out the word “big” and substituted a declarative sentence without…
