I took this picture a number of years ago before the explosion of smartphones. Recently I revisited the image and created this selective color version. It was taken at the Sorbonne in Paris.
It made me think if today would this young lady would be reading a hardcover book or would she have her head in her phone like most other people.

These are this week’s award winners. Horse Looking at Me from Vienna Austria. Pond Reflections from Lettuce Lake in Tampa Florida. The color image is The Platzjabbeck from Cologne Germany. It is a puppet that appears at the top of Town Hall every hour and sticks it’s tongue out at the town below.

I have always considered myself to be a better monochrome photographer than a color photographer. Most of that is just experience. When I started serious photography in 1973 I couldn’t really afford color film. That makes this award even more special.
in 2022 and 2023 I won Photographer Of The Year for street photography and architectural photography with Noir Magazine . This year I won Photographer of The Year for Color Photography with Universe of Color Magazine for my picture of the oculus in The Pantheon in Rome. These awards are chosen from hundreds of thousands on entries submitted during the year. See the full yearbook here.

Hard to believe it has been ten years since we published our first novel, DreamMap! To celebrate we have lowered the price of both our novels on Amazon. Both novels are available in Kindle, paperback and hardcover. You can buy both Kindle versions for under $5.00 and both trade paperbacks for under $20.
You can find links to all versions on my author’s page.
When I took this picture I noticed to joy on this person’s face. It made me think. A garden is a garden no matter how small. I couldn’t help but wonder if the joy came from the windowbox or from a larger garden in days gone by.

Revisiting and editing my image library always provides surprises. I didn’t think this shot of the river was important because it was not the famous Charles Bridge. Yet the view of the river with the church in the background is lovely none the less

You are not allowed to take pictures inside Sacre Cœur In Paris during Mass. I have a personal rule as a photographer to respect the rules. However, I also reserve the right to play dumb. When I enter such a place I find a location to take the shot I want and quickly take as many as I can until I am stopped. I then claim, I didn’t know, apologies and politely put my camera away. I didn’t get off many shots but here it is, morning mass.

In 2019 we took a cruise from Barcelona to Rome. One of the biggest surprises of the cruise was the wonderful island of Elba. One of the biggest surprises of Elba was the little village of Porto Azzurro. Every place we had been to had been fairly crowded. Even the port town in Elba of Portoferrio was jumping. However the little village of Porto Azzurro was very relaxed. A lovely place for lunch and a leisurely stroll.

In Pittsburgh we buy sausages at The Parma Sausage Company in the Strip District.They have excellent fresh made daily products. I have never seen anything like this in the United States. This image is from Munich Germany and although we couldn’t;t buy anything because we were staying in a hotel, iy was still worth stopping in for a look.
