travelogue

I used to travel for work... A lot!  

Now that my wife and I have retired, we have made the conscious decision to travel even more! But together! And, this time, we will just be going where WE WANT TO GO :-)

Below is a fairly complete list of where we've been, either solo for work or together for vacation.

I am posting pictures and videos, both on this website and on YouTube. I  will  transfer  some  of  my  old  prints  to  digital  and  post  them here as  time allows.

I have been fascinated with photography and film since an early age. I even turned my closet into a darkroom when I was a kid. Later 8mm film captured my imagination, quickly followed by video media. 

Over the years, I have had some very nice cameras (Olympus, Minolta, and Sony for the stills and Sony Pro for the video). But as I'm getting older, I've gotten a bit lazier (or smarter, depending on your point of view). 

I've found that the Apple iPhone can acquire beautiful images and videos with great quality. Currently, I use my iPhone 13 Pro with a stabilizer (DJI) to acquire photos and video.

As you would expect, COVID-19 has changed our, and the world's, travel plans! Hopefully, not forever! 

We now live in a world of social isolation, social distancing, and travel restrictions. This is, of course, the right thing to do and has become, at least temporarily, the "New Normal".

Because of that, we suspended (along with the rest of the world :-) all travel plans for 2020! 

Everyone.... PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY!!

My wife is from China. Her mother still lives there. What more can I say?    

Beijing - Guangzhou - Tianjin - Huangshan (The Yellow Mountains) - Shanghai - Zhou Zhuang - Kunming - The Yellow River -  Macau  -   Shantou  -  Xian  -   Chung Du - Dalian - Da Tung - Many, Many More!

Way  too  many  to  actually  publish!  See some  in the galleries below... Unless otherwise noted the pictures were captured by me or my wife. 

Always interesting... too big and different to be boring! Wonderful people and places.
