CAMP PENDLETON CALIFORNIA – An interesting couple of days. I’m here for a reunion of my Marine Corps officers Basic School class – catching up with guys who I last saw in Quantico decades ago.

SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA – I’m in San Diego for a reunion of my Marine Corps Officers Basic School class. For more on this click the link to my biography. This was a travel day so I didn’t get much in the way of images. I did visit the San Diego Zoo; I’m afraid that I’m joining the dyspeptic band that finds zoos sad and distasteful, so I couldn’t find any images. Anyway, here’s the pool in the hotel that we’re staying at.

On this day three years ago (day 744): Freak Blizzard. Yes, we were hit by a freak blizzard on October 29, 2011. A couple of images from Warren. This was one of the most destructive storms in our lifetime because the very heavy snow crushed millions of threes, which still had their leaves.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – This evening we went to a benefit for Words Without Borders held at a venue just off of Canal Street. I got images on the way and at the event. All with my Monochrom, of course.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – This has turned out to be two days of perfect late Autumn weather. The light is enveloping and glorious. I shot very wide (with my 16mm Zeiss lens); I’ve found that very wide lenses sometimes do a good job of conveying a sense of the quality of light.
