I am a photographer, walker, and sometime paddler, a theologically-educated geek living in Rochester, NY. Once upon a time I was an Army helicopter jockey in Alaska. He/him. Christian, cisgender male who strongly supports his gay/lesbian/trans/whatever friends, relatives and neighbors. I started with film, switched to digital, then went back to classic film cameras. I started on the trail in 2022 and again in 2023. I'll be back.

Trying Not to Panic
February 1 is getting close. I am trying not to panic. Some days it's, "It's OK, you've got this." Other days, it's, "What???" I Can Do This I
