Dad moved us all over the
world. When I was 10, I sat on the edge of a live volcano. Wow!
When I
was a teen I found out that a 35MM camera takes better pictures. At 16, my
brother and I drove across the Piedmont to the mountains, by
ourselves. When I was 19, my wife and I found out how much further we
could go if we did these things: ride a motorcycle instead of driving a car,
bring our food with us, sleep on the ground, and call in sick the week
before or after our scheduled vacations.
At these ages, I found out that there is an entirely different world
under the water, beneath the rim or on top of the mountain. That there is
so much more to see if you learn how to see it off season; if you don't
need a Mickey D's or a Holiday Inn to see it. |
Then there are people. They muck up this
planet. Then again, they make music. They make plays, and children.
They make the cameras I buy. They make good company when I'm down or I've got something I
want to share. They're essential when I don't want to be alone. They recycle the
plastics that pay my bills. I guess they can be pretty wonderful. They are
certainly a part of this journey.
Finally there is family. Encouragement is really the only way this site
got built.
This is my story, or really, the story of any dopamine afflicted
T-types destined to wonder this planet. Not so much a story told with
text but many times a thousand words are told just the same. A little story told in
digital doodle and photography, about
travel and high adventure on this the........

"Surely all God's
people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play. Whales and
elephants, dancing, humming gnats, and invisibly small mischievous microbes -
all are warm with divine radium and must have lots of fun in them."
