It’s not polite to dance on a grave

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Picture: Old Grave marker headstone (1891) behind old wooden church, Hornitos, Sierra Foothills, Mariposa County, California

Picture: High desert sage at sunrise in the Great Basin, near Wells, Nevada
I spent the bulk of last week in Reno, Nevada, attending the 2010 Annual Summit Conference for the North American Nature Photography Association. Considering I had a book deadline coming up this next week, it was a challenge keeping the commitment [...]

Picture: Air Force planes on display at the “Century Circle” near the main entrance gate to Edwards Air Force Base, near Mojave, California

Happy Anniversary To Me

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Picture: A glorious sunset over the Coconino Plateau from the rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona

It’s not quite as big as sobriety, but it does harken to a chemical dependancy. Two years ago this week, the boat I bought showed up in my driveway. Two years ago this week I had my very last cigarette. [...]

Something old something new something really old
