Just after sunset on Lac de Viam
We all have favorite photos we've taken over the years. For most, those photos will be of a place of travel or of a family member. For most retired photojournalists, the image was likely taken on the way to, from or at a photo assignment. I shot this photo while driving to work one morning when I was on the staff at the Alexandria (La.) Daily Town Talk in the late 1970s.
Of course, my favorite photos are of my kids when they were young, but this one is my favorite from my years as a photojournalist.
I moved to central France in 2018. It's a very rural part of the country, far away from the crowds, making it a great place to wander the back roads shooting photos and meeting local people.
As the name implies, this is a collection of some of my better photos shot over the span of my career and in retirement.
Many were shot with an SLR, but recent photos have come from an iPhone.
I learned of Black & White infrared photography when I was in college in the 1970s.
I've always been intrigued by the awe-inspiring softness that IR photos impart.
From 1975 to 1985 I worked as a photojournalist for newspapers in Texas and Louisiana. Here is a slide show of some of my favorite photos from that era.
I have always loved traveling to the western part of the United States, Utah and Colorado in particular. Click below to watch a slide show of photos from Arches National Park in Utah.
I've had a passion for woodworking since my father helped me build a pine board stool at age 11.
It took a little more than three years of blood, sweat and a few tears to finally finish what is likely the biggest project of my life.
In my younger days, it wasn't unusual for me to do a century ride (100 miles) with friends on a sunny Saturday.
Later in my life, I was really interested in mountain bike riding, and did some to a limited extent.
Now, with the advent of electric-assist bikes, I am again getting to ride the trails I love.
