Welcome. I am a photographer and a former Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Georgia, now residing permanently in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This blog was born from a need to remember small fragments of a bygone world that existed not too long ago, within the living memory of a not insignificant fraction of humanity, among whom I count myself. Much of the work that you will encounter here, and in my sister site, is photographic. It consists of my visual interpretation of places and times that, for a diversity of reasons, are important to me. Some chapters are attempts to express in words what it means to see one’s world disappear, without being able to travel back in time nor, failing that, to stop the tragedy. A few are an animal-lover’s cry of despair, in the name of all of those non-human sentient beings who also call this planet their home. As all blogs, this is a work in progress with no end in sight.
