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 …
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 …
Denver Guide
It’s been a few years, but some of you may recall the days when I lived in colorful Colorado. Over the last few months, a number of colleagues and fellow travelers have sought Colorado and Denver-specific recommendations with surprising regularity. So in the interest of simplifying things, I’ve begun assembling a more complete list of …
Travel snaps
More from recent travels: I prefer interplanetary travel… (or at least trips which take me places that feel other-worldly)… Who doesn’t really? I even met a few celebrities…. old friends, really, but still exciting! Bonus points, if you recognize my “friends”…
Oddities from the Road
During my travels, I come across some pretty strange objects, artifacts, stories and people. Here’s a gem from my latest trip: Veal baby food?! For real? For real. AWESOME.
Postcards from London, vol. 3; Misc.
A few more from my recent trip to London: Love this piece by ROA!
Postcards from London, vol. 1; Letterforms
I’ve been doing a bit of traveling again, recently. Last week I was away at a conference and this weekend I find myself in London. Finally, I’m picking up the camera again, mostly for quick snapshots or to record fragments of ideas; even so it feels good. Here are a few snaps from the last …
Holiday Booty Market
Living in the Balto/D.C. metro area and looking for something to do this weekend? Well then head down to D.C. this Saturday (19 Dec) for the fourth annual Holiday Booty Market! Featuring the work of twenty regional artists and crafters, the market is a great chance to find last-minute holiday treasures for your loved ones …
Heal the Sick
Earlier this weekend, a reader sent me this photo they snapped on a recent trip to London: They were amused by the odd mission statements or promises of the institution, and thought I might agree that perhaps their aim to “Raise the Dead” was at best inspiring, if a bit creepy.
Charm City
Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of networking; and one of the frequent topics of conversation has been the City itself, Baltimore. People inevitably want to understand why I left sunny California and adventurous Colorado for what is often perceived as a humdrum, quirky little town on the Chesapeake. And my answer is always the …
Fall in Gothenburg
The last few days of rain and autumnal gloom have lulled my memories back to Göteborg. I haven’t paid it much mind over the last few years– I finished my MFA and didn’t really look back afterward. But here I am, back in Baltimore after a move back from Sweden, and two three 1500mi+ moves. …
Things I missed at Make/Think
I did not attend the AIGA biennial conference, Make/Think, last week in Memphis. I tried, but my planning efforts quickly became a logistical nightmare; in the end, I decided to save the money for a mortgage payment instead of the agony of figuring out travel to a town with out Southwest service and overbooked hotels …
The Spice of Life
The other day, I read an article in the Washington Post about one of my favorite things tastes– Old Bay. I can’t recall the specific moment in my life where I discovered this amalgam of spices, but I’m pretty certain it was my father who made the introduction. Since that imperceptible moment in my childhood, …
Just wondering…
So, can I just pop over to Edinburgh today? Y’know take the afternoon off, go to a museum, stroll along and take some snapshots while window-shopping… and then meet my loved ones for coffee… more strolling and then a late dinner with a view? Internet, does that work for you? Can I? Can I, huh, …
Coastal
This past weekend, I took a drive up the coast for a quiet getaway. I camped close by in the redwoods and was early to rise so that I could explore: This is within an hour’s drive of the loft… and people wonder why I moved…. I took these pictures with a current side project …
