Cuba and community
I've been writing about community now for the last several posts. This past 10 days I have seen community in action on a grand scale. I've just returned from a photo odyssey in Cuba, where I was part of an amazing group of photographers participating in a marvelous...
Crafting our lives, part 2
This is a continuation of my blog from last week about creating community. Thanks for checking back. As I have aged over these last 10 or so years, the idea of crafting my life became and has remained sharply focused. Perhaps it is perspective that is the gift of...
How we craft our lives, part 1
I have a few excuses for not blogging for such a long time. (Teaching, leading tours, working, writing, too much time on airplanes, LIFE.) None of them is sufficient. But I've also been at a loss for a meaningful subject. It hit me three days ago at the end of an...
a question of light
I've just finished teaching two workshops on two coasts in two weeks. And too many times I heard myself say "look at the light"! After talking for seven or eight days you can get very tired of hearing your own voice. So now is the time for me to be quiet and think...
sun, flowers, Lusitanos
The winter rains have given way to the glory of spring. I've had the great luxury of photographing beautiful horses in flowers and dappled sun these last two weeks. It is marvelous to be out each evening in the woods and pastures after what seemed like interminable...

more driving from the Iberic Cup
I went back to Companhia das Lezirias for an hour or so this morning to photograph more driving. It was pretty amazing to watch the precision, power, and speed! Congratulations to all the competitors. I heard competitors from Belgium, Spain, and Portugal being called...
The Beginning of Photography!
Last weekend I was in Chalon Sur Saone, France, to visit the Musee Nicephore Niepce. It was an extraordinary experience…made more so because it was completely unexpected. To be sure, I had planned to visit, but the unexpected part was the breadth of history and an...
some driving fun and a Presidential visit
It couldn't be too long until I had a post about horses, right? Today I photographed some preparation for the Iberic Cup championship in driving. Teams from France, Spain, Belgium, the US, and Portugal will compete this weekend for the Cup as they build momentum to...
in the footsteps Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Bonnard
Long before I became a photographer I was a lover of art. The Impressionists were my first love and though I have expanded my list of favorites to include the renaissance and Dutch masters, modern expressionists and a number of great American painters, I continue to...
an update, sadly
I have just returned from a visit to the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany. The day before I arrived in Prague for this last trip I learned of the death of Alice Herz-Sommer, the oldest known survivor of The Holocaust. In January I wrote about the gratitude for the...
