I will be announcing the dates for the 2019 UK Gannets and Puffins and Red Kites IPT very soon. Long Island Small Group Instruction I will be returning to […] Stuff My keynote at the Memphis Expo early on Saturday evening was very well received. Everything went off smoothly and the images looked great on the large screen in the theater at the Graceland guest house. I felt really connected to the audience so I slowed down halfway through and really enjoyed things. I did […] Stuff The first day of the Memphis EXPO was great. I particularly enjoyed two presentations. The first was by Patrick Murphy-Racey, an eclectic, independent digital journalist who loves to photograph sports and weddings and travel and people, ad lots more. The second was by the super-hip, super-creative fashion photographer Lindsay Adler. Though neither of them […] Stuff The left knee continues to feel a bit better each day.

We need seven more folks in the next […] Stuff My knee is feeling better but I am taking it easy for a bit longer. I have not been hitting any golf balls as there have been mega-thunderstorms every afternoon. I am nearly finished work on my A Bird Photographer’s Story Memphis keynote program. But I am still far behind on e-mails … […] Stuff I’ve cut back a bit on my long walks to give my knee a chance to calm down. On Thursday, I finally got some solid work done on my A Bird Photographer’s Story Memphis keynote program. Long Island Small Group Instruction I will be returning to my old haunts on Long Island from […] On Your Bucket List? If you are a nature photographer and the Galapagos is on your bucket list, please read everything in the trip announcement below carefully. Right now only two folks are signed up. I need to have eight more deposits (likely by the end of September) for the trip to run. If the […] Stuff I spent four hours on the phone yesterday getting our three ATT e-mail addresses to work … I have been averaging walking about 5 1/2 miles a day for the past few days. PHOTOEXPO 2018 If you missed the PHOTOEXPO 2018 announcement and live anywhere within driving or flying distance of Memphis, TN, […] Stuff When I was about ten years old, my late mother often said, “This child does not know the meaning of moderation.” With the great success of my walking exercise program I decided to jog one hundred steps on Friday. Not smart. My left knee did not like that at all … PHOTOEXPO 2018 […] Stuff Walked eleven plus miles on Thursday, 8+ on Friday. And a bit of easy swimming. I have been getting some work done and continue playing a bit of golf and getting some work done. PHOTOEXPO 2018 If you missed the PHOTOEXPO 2018 announcement and live anywhere within driving or flying distance of Memphis, […] Stuff I have been walking a ton — more than 11 miles yesterday. That included 22 holes of golf. Very badly played golf. On my 5.5-mile Wednesday morning walk I had four southbound migrant Least Sandpipers flying over the lake down by the pier. I have started work on my 2017 taxes will begin work […] Stuff Lots of walking. Lots of putting. And on Monday afternoon, I actually played a few holes. Thanks to Amy. Speaking of Amy, she visited a friend in Sarasota recently and shared some really nice sunrise/sunset land-/sea-scape images in her most recent blog post here. I started this post from scratch early on Tuesday […] Stuff It’s great to be home and eating well. My jet-lag is abating. Last night I slept from 8pm until 5:45am: 9 hours and 45 minutes. I have spent a good deal of the past few days napping and resting and reading; perhaps I can get some work done today. I will be starting on […] Stuff Amy and I flew from Edinburgh to Orlando on Wednesday with a 4 1/2 hour layover in Toronto. Everything went smoothly. MCO was a zoo; Jim picked us up just before 7pm. We were home at 8:30pm (1:30am Scotland time the next day …) I slept in my own bed for the first time […] Stuff From Dejection to Euphoria in Rough Seas … After being weathered out of two gannet boat trips at Bempton Cliffs, the group was really looking forward to our two trips out of Dunbar, Scotland. Captain Gordon asked us to be at the dock at 7am. We were. He arrived with bad news: the weather […] Stuff At 3am on Sunday, the sky was clear. At 4am on Sunday, the sky was clear. At 5am on Sunday, the sky was clear. At 6am on Sunday, the sky was clear. At 7am on Sunday the sky was clear. Here we go again I thought. Then some heavy cloud cover moved in over […] Stuff The unprecedented period of sunny with blue skies weather in the UK has been merciless and has been most often paired with winds from the north. In other words, tough conditions all day … The weather in July on the northeast coast of England is almost always cloudy bright with lots of gray days, […] Stuff The unprecedented run of sunny days and blue skies in Europe continues. Despite that and a less than ideal northwest wind we did fairly well on Tuesday on our first visits to the island off Seahouses. It was supposed to be cloudy on Wednesday but alas, it was another sunny day. The wind however, […] Stuff Sunday morning was very tough for photography at Bempton with a clear bright sunrise; there were no clouds, no fog, and no mist at all.
