Around the world in 66 days in 1956 : In the summer of 1956 my father, mother and yours truly at the age of 13 traveled around the world in 66 days. We visited 13 countries including 3 weeks in India. In those days we traveled on propeller driven airplanes, airborne for an estimated 5 cumulative 24 hour days. Armed with his trusty Leica M2, F2 lens and Kodachrome (ASA 10!) color slide film, my father composed the photographs. I, light meter in hand, called out the exposures and my mother told my father what to shoot. The result is a remarkable collection of images that chronicle the adventure as the world appeared to this family half a century ago. A technical note: The slides had suffered considerable degradation over the years. They were digitized using a Nikon Coolscan V. The images were then restored using Photoshop Elements to remove scratches, mold on the emulsion, and to brighten the colors that had faded over time.

Impressions of Paris France : This is a photo collection from a May 2013 Culinary tour of Paris, Chartres and Monet's gardens. As you can see by these photos the tour had an emphasis on exploring the best of what Paris had to offer in cooking, pastries, chocolates, meats and cheeses. It included two trips away from town to the Monet's gardens and the medieval town of Chartres with its massive cathedral. We hope you enjoy these. A technical note: virtually all of these photos were shot with the Fujifilm X100 mirror-less camera.
