The view from this scenic overlook on I-26 in Tennessee near North Carolina is amazing but the path up to it had nearly a 20% grade!
Blue Hour on the Main Quad
We returned to Trinity College in Hartford, CT, for Reunion this year. It was a classic reunion setting—back ‘neath the elms, on a perfect summer night. I’ve increasingly found that, rather than being an occasion for excess nostalgia, reunions are a tonic against over-romanticizing college. It takes actually visiting to realize that the location is different from the group of people who were once assembled there.

Melrose Falls
It’s not easy to get a good view of the falls but once you manage it delivers.
Campus on the Eve of an Un-Rainy Commencement
Threatening storm clouds gathered over campus on the eve of Commencement this year, forcing the event inside… Only for the weather to be sunny and mild the next day. Even access to flying robots can’t fix the chaos of weather prediction.
Falls Park
Greenville’s Falls Park is very impressive by municipal park standards, with elaborate gardens and an impressive suspension bridge. Doubly so when you realize what the area used to look like.
Little Crêpe Shop
When evening arrives in autumnal Paris, the limestone city shifts from white to gray and the shops that once blended into the background become beacons.
New and Old Wood
The expanses of wood in the modern architecture of Berkeley’s Energy Biosciences Building contrasts with the timber-framed buildings of old Berkeley across the street. As campus expands and the needs of modern Berkeley grow, I expect most of those older buildings in the space between Shattuck and Oxford will eventually vanish.
Eugenia Duke Bridge
Springtime Sublime
Late spring on college campuses around the country presents perhaps the loveliest views to the fewest people—students have graduated and perhaps a few reunioners are the only audience.
Pearson’s Falls
Pearson’s Falls and Glen in Saluda is a really magical place to unwind and take in the beauty of nature, thanks to the efforts at trail maintenance of the Tryon Garden Club.
Wick’s New York
I caught John Wick Chapter 3 in theaters this weekend; that movie’s take on New York City inspired me to finish processing my RAWs from my October 2018 trip to photograph its downtown skyline. Perhaps that sense of a hidden world lurking around every corner is captured in the details along the shore.
Abandoned Fishing Shack
Spring marks the return of leaves to the trees around the North Country; in the tiny window between snow-covered and leaf-obscured, I get to imagine the story behind this long-abandoned and island-isolated shack. Was it a weekend fishing spot? Was the construction of the nearby bridge what caused it to be abandoned?
Crabtree Falls
Watching the Waves in Brazil
Standing on the cliffs of Florianopolis, Brazil in spring is just the time to record a “picture postcard” image.
