I’m saddened for those in Puerto Rico affected by the devastating blow from Hurricane Maria. Several relief funds have been put to motion in the wake of Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. If you have interest in donating, one such fund is United For Puerto Rico, launched by the First lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Areizaga, and private corporations. The recent… Continue reading Puerto Rico memories

Fuerteventura
Sharing a tranquil scene that is stilled burned into my mind from 5 years ago this September. Shot this near the end of a long lazy late summer day doing absolutely nothing at Playa de Sotavento de Jandía, a stunning coastal paradise of turquoise water and fine white sand on the southern end of the island of Fuerteventura… Continue reading Fuerteventura
BACKSTORY: FRA Drops
My flight from Dublin was 90 minutes landing in Frankfurt. I sprinted from one end of the terminal to the other in order to make the connection to Beijing as no courtesy golf cart assistance available. Easily a 2km sprint with all my stuff.

Kind of a bucket list thing. Something neither of us had ever done. We managed to catch about a dozen tuna, although… Continue reading A requiem for Key West – Pre Irma
Throwback Thursday: 2003 in Botswana
Early morning at The Khwai River Lodge in Botswana on 28 June 2003. Since we were in the southern hemisphere it was wintertime and near freezing. Not particularly a good day for a sunrise swim! Elephants roamed freely but were not around when I captured this scene. And while I’m on that subject I encourage you… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: 2003 in Botswana
Year #4 back in the States
Today, 1 September 2017, marks four full years back in the United States after living in Ireland the previous five years. Time flies. This was among the first set of photos I took upon returning to my native America. After being away for so long it was slightly strange for me to see the Stars and Stripes flying in so many… Continue reading Year #4 back in the States
