Interview on WHAM

Last Friday, Bob Lonsberry was kind enough to give me about 10 minutes of time on his radio show to tell about my I Love Rochester New York book.  He had some nice words to say about the book.

Below is a photo of the University of Rochester that appears in the book.

USA Trip

A week ago Rebecca and I returned from a 5 ½ week, 10,000-mile tour of the United States.  We traveled through 25 different states, visiting family and of course taking pictures.  I targeted specific locations where I wanted to get photographs for a new book on the United States.  With this trip, I have been to every state in the Union at least twice—most of them many, many times.  I succeeded in getting the desired pictures.  One of our favorites is from the Seed Saver Exchange in Decorah, Iowa, the Golden Polish Chicken (shown below).
