My book has been available for about one year now and sales have been underwhelming which is kind of understandable for a personal publication like this. In any case it is still on Amazon, “A Hundred Places I Went To Before I Died” (ISBN/EAN13: 1475261535 / 9781475261530.) and available for $25 with free shipping. To get your copy, click here.
A Hundred I Went To Before I Died
Just about everything in the Pompidou Centre expresses modern art. As you take the escalator to the higher floors you are treated to Soundscape by former Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart. The elevator to the ground floor is also a work of art and changes appearance depending on the position of the ascending or descending elevator. See more images from Europe and buy prints at my commercial gallery.

Another one from the 1970’s. This was Pat during a fashion shoot at a park near Falling Water in Western Pennsylvania. You can see more at my models portfolio on my commercial site.
Pat at the Bridge
In scanning my old negatives I found this one of Carole in 1976. Together we assembled quite a portfolio during two different sessions. This one was taken in front of blooming roses at Rolling Rock in 1976. You can see others from my models portfolio by clicking here.

Spring happens later in the mountains. At 1700 feet above sea level, tulips don’t really bloom until Mothers Day. These are the first tulips of the year in our pocono mountain garden. See other images of spring and buy prints at my commercial gallery.
First Tulips of Spring
Finally Winter is behind us and spring has sprung! The most beautiful of all seasons always brings hope into your heart. You can see other images of beautiful blooms at my commercial gallery.
Spring Brings Hope and Joy
Here I am at Joshua Tree National Monument. It was really hot and I was feeling kind of dehydrated. See other images from Joshua Tree at my commercial gallery.
Self Portrait
She’s a brick—-house
Mighty mighty, just lettin’ it all hang out.
I almost walked right by this old house along the Palm Canyon Trail in Indian Canyons of the Palm Desert. The house is almost the same color as the stone that surrounds it and blends right in. In order to get the house to stand out for this photo I needed to apply some masking, color and contrast adjustments in post production. Although empty now, you can imagine Native Americans living here centuries ago. You can buy a print of this one and see others at my commercial gallery.
Brick House in Indian Canyons
Outside of Palm Springs California is a park called Indian Canyons. There are a number of trails but the most popular is the Palm Canyon trail which is 15 miles long. A natural spring creates a swath of palms and other greenery in the rough rock canyon and desert terrain. You can see other images from the California desert like Joshua Tree at my commercial gallery.

Our lilies have a lot of buds so I am hoping to see another season like this one from a couple years back. You can see more images like this one and buy prints at my commercial gallery by clicking here.
