  • Neighbors to the North

    It’s no secret that I’ve been traveling quite a bit this year. Earlier in the summer, I took a short trip up to eastern Canada mostly to see a few art exhibits. This past Monday was Canada’s observance of Thanksgiving. And so not surprisingly, my mind has been wandering back north lately… Wouldn’t it be…

  • Wood and nails

    Similar to a recent entry about sorting through unpublished photos, another theme struck me while sorting… Wood and/or nails.. Wood on the side of a century old barn.. ..a nail helping to cover a broken window… The grain of exterior of an old home tool shop.. ..on the door of an ancient windmill… .. and…

  • Drips of Paint

    While tidying hard drives and sorting through hundreds of unpublished photos, it’s not unusual to come across themes in the images that have, until then, gone unnoticed. The theme that struck me this weekend? Drips of paint… Here are some I found on a Swedish farm… And in a train yard… …Some in London… By…

  • Isaac

    Stay safe, stay dry folks…

  • Change.

    Regardless of your politics, “change” has become a hot topic in America. Sharing this photo of mine is not meant to be a political statement, however… When I saw this forgotten phrase above an empty storefront, I couldn’t help but appreciate the contrast of reality and message. Then again the text reads simply “Change…” What…

  • Rainy Day

    Found this little fella on a rainy stroll through French Quarter a few weeks ago… Today it’s stormy here in Charm City. How’s the weather where you are, dear readers?

  • This time last year

    This time last year, we had a glorious sunset… This year, the sunset is a little underwhelming but I’m glad to have captured last year’s. How’s the weather been in your neck of the woods, readers?

  • Scratching the surface

    A while ago, I was traveling in New Orleans and stopped for brunch. It was a hot sunny day and we ended up in one of the French Quarter‘s hidden courtyards with flowering trees and a jazz trio. After a leisurely meal in the shade, I noticed the scratched walls of the passageways on the…

  • Rundetaarn

    Sometimes when I’m visiting Copenhagen for the day, I like to go up to the top of the 17th century observatory called the RundetÃ¥rn. The walk up to the top of the tower is a cobblestone spiral ramp. In the 18th century, Peter the Great rode a horse up to the top while visiting. Toward…

  • A stroll around Copenhagen

    Among the ports of call on my seemingly endless travel itinerary this year has been Copenhagen. When spending time in Sweden, I often like to pop down for the day. Thanks to the Oresund Bridge, it couldn’t be easier. Day trips like this are such a treat and nice way to give my mind a…

  • Farm Textures

    Inevitably, while exploring the farm, I can’t help but notice all the subtle colors and textures. Here are just a few that caught my eye:

  • Summer Solstice

    Today is the summer solstice. While my loved ones back in Sweden won’t be celebrating midsommmar until later this week, I still can’t help thinking of Stockholm and how glorious the light and sun is there this time of year.

  • A walk through the countryside

    While visiting the farm, there was a lot of downtime which is generally in short supply these days. While the weather was on the miserable side during my stay, we still managed to venture out a little each day. Sometimes for social calls to friends on the island or on an excursion to an ancient…

  • The Farm

    Among my travels this year, have been several trips abroad to spend time with my friends and extended family. It’s been a wonderful treat to grow closer and revisit places I’d not seen in many years. One of the more relaxing side trips while traveling was to a friend’s farm for the holidays. As one…

  • Absent

    Lately I’ve been getting a lot of ‘where are you?’ or ‘what are you up to?’ emails from friends and readers alike. Which isn’t much of a surprise after the long spells between my posts so far this year. Sorry folks, it’s been a heck of a ride so far this year and we’re not…

  • A quick ‘Hello’

    The last few weeks have been a blur of work, travel and a healthy dose of stress. Even so, I’ve been generating new work and at long last am happy to share some of it with you, dear readers. Before the rain blew in this weekend, I went on a long walkabout and had a…

  • An old friend

    Recently, I visited an old friend: He’s been a little under the weather recently and is a little worse for wear, but hanging in there… Seriously though, I’ve been fond this sink and his funny little face since I was a kid and was tickled to see him again after a long parting.

  • Summer Storm

    We’ve been experiencing record breaking high temperatures… which is actually nice–the streets aren’t too crowded and everyone slows down. The other pleasant side effect is the inevitable thunderstorms that roll in after the heat wave…
