The year was 1999. Good quality digital cameras were in their infancy and the photography magazine that was delivered to my mailbox every month included articles passionately arguing the merits of digital vs film. Even then, digital photography felt like the inevitable winner to me but as I wrote this story, I remember why there … More Take Photos Like It’s 1999
On a recent business trip, I took a short walk through Founder’s Garden on the University of Georgia campus. As luck would have it, my walk followed shortly after a rain shower.
We recently returned from a quick family trip up north to Manitoba. My middle son was enchanted by this field of canola and how small it made the grain bin look. I loved the bright yellow flowers and their contrast with the blue sky.
I recently returned from a visit to Seattle, where we were checking out the site of a future conference. One of the highlights of the visit was getting to view the Seattle skyline from the water and a visit to the famous Farmer’s Market. The colors at the market were an intense contrast to Seattle’s … More Photo Friday ‘Seattle Skyline and Market’ April 18, 2014

Suffice … More Australian Adventures Part 1 – Melbourne
A few photos from our recent family trip to Ireland. This first one is a display of Viking-era swords at the national history/archaeological museum in Dublin. One of the things that made Ireland so amazing for me was the sense of age and history in everything, especially compared to Nebraska, where something 100 years old … More “Irish Scenery” Photo Friday July 19, 2013

In addition, the last week of June was occupied with our family vacation. For me it was a combined work/family trip as I attended a conference and … More Adventures in Irish GPS
