It's the 101st Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial at Gallup, NM. A wonderful gathering of culture and traditions of indigenous peoples that have occupied these lands for thousands of years. And I've been looking forward to documenting events that most people do not get to see. As I arrived and left my car at Red Rock Park I heard fireworks? gunshots? part of some event?...

I don't post personal political information unless I've been to a rally and post up images from that event. To my surprise as I was photographing the Sale of Champions at the Ohio State Fair today, one of the high bidders gave a shout out to Kari Lake. Now the lady is from Arizona and I keep getting emails from their campaign asking for support....

Tonight at the Franklin County Fair while photographing the demolition derby one of the participants got hit really hard! Out cold in the car. Old newspaper days kicked in and a bit of spot news coverage. As the last image show, driver walked away with the help of the Norwich Township Fire Department!!! 2023 Franklin County Fair...

Last Oct/Nov I had a chance to visit the Odesa area. Nothing more than a seaport and resort area. An absolutely lovely area filled with wonderful people. Why Russia would attack the area is just pure evil. There is nothing there that would offensive to Russia. A seaside city that Russians would visit before this mess started. People playing chess, fishing in sight of the crane at the port, people getting married, lovely buildings and people photographing people. Just a normal day in a normal city, but not now. I'm hoping all people in Odesa and my Rotarian friends are ok.

I have been very fortunate to have visited Ukraine recently. Few into Warsaw, crossed the border to Lviv and on to Kyiv, Kharkiv and then Odesa. I met up with Rotarians along the way and they provided me with transportation in each city and a look at what life has been and is now within a country at war. I am coming to the end of editing and will be able to post the entire trip soon....

Good Morning from Odesa Ukraine
Yesterday I spent the day in and around a small village that is/was a resort destination. No military, just people on vacation and a children’s football - soccer - camp with swimming pool.
This is part of what is left.
No words needed, just random indiscriminate destruction!

One World Trade Center and lower Manhattan As I think back to that day, 9/11, on the road with other Ohio State University people I remember the disbelief of what was happening. Called Dad in California to get some clarification and Dad just kept saying "they are gone". Wasn't till I had a chance to see the news and the awful images on TV....
