After the past couple of near horrific years, 2023 is offering up reasons to celebrate in our family with 3 milestone birthdays, 30, 70, & 75 (I’m withholding names to protect the innocent) and a May wedding. I’ll accept a hearty “Mazel Tov”…

I truly enjoy taking photographs in museums as regular readers can attest. Normally I just grab a few shots walking through the galleries, but when my brother described the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, he was so enthusiastic about it so I had to visit and turn it into a…

My first private gallery show in October was an enjoyable experience, I did sell a few prints, always a nice thing, and response to the exhibition was positive. I watched as people viewed my work and I came away with a few impressions. The display of the prints and the…

New to my gallery

We are working our way back to D.C. with a stop in New York City. The drive from Boston to NYC took 1-1/2 hrs longer than it should have, as expected. It’s been some time since I was here, it took just a few minutes for me to remember how…

Quebec City, my fourth and last stop in Canada before heading back to Washington, D.C. The weather forecasts for this road trip were not good, in fact, they were bleak, calling for a lot of rain and cloud cover. As it turned out, I have had but two marginal days.…
