Art spent quite a lot of time lecturing on abstracts.This was my first attempt.

Shot this with my iPhone. Hard to complain.

When the light is harsh, duck into the woods and drag the shutter.

Let the leaf peeping begin

Day 2 - we drove up to Dallas Divide

Every trip to the mountains should include at least one moose sighting

This was literally the last shot of the week. I think it could be my favorite.

October 2022, Deb and I woke up before dawn to catch the sunrise at Banner Marsh. This shot was worth the trip.

In September 2024, I plotted the darkest sky I could find in a 1 hour radius to take this shot of the galaxy. The lights on the horizon is Macomb, IL.

In March 2025, I noticed this large blob in our back yard tree. Turned out to be an owl. I took my long lens thinking he would flee as soon as I approached. To my surprise, he stood there watching me as I walked up within 50 feet.

In May 2025, Deb and I were scouting scenes to shoot and as I drove towards Princeville, I saw this perfect, old, rustic Red Barn in a beautiful scene.

I spend my birthday away from home often. Ryan was so kind to remember me while I was away.

QVB is a beautiful four story, high-end mall converted train station

IBMers and partners in Sydney were the highlight of our tour to date. What a great set of people!

After dinner, Big Ben and the sky was perfect

Like home away from home

My new discovery

My attempt at recreating an older composition

Reportedly, the eye has been nonfunctional due to safety reasons. But the light show at night is fantastic.

Checking in from IBM Dubai

High atop the 124th floor, the view of Duabi is phenomenal

Far into the horizon, you can barely make out the Jumierah Beach islands, one of the most amazing man made set of islands on earth. Everything in Dubai is bigger and more amazing than anywhere else.

Simply the tallest building on earth

This was the welcome gift from the Conrad hotel in Bangkok

A smaller version of a Komodo dragon, the Asian Water Monitor is still quite menacing and plentiful here in Thailand

The team from Southeast Asia were the best of anyone from our 26 city tour - at least best of my 10 city portion.
