At the end of the day, a visit to Paris is about walking the streets rather than all the great museums. Here are my thoughts about and images from my October 2025 trip to Paris.
All in Architecture
Expat in Paris (II)
I love walking the streets of Paris and visiting its cemeteries. Here are my thoughts and images from an October 2025 trip to Paris
Expat in Paris (I)
A trip to Paris is always an enjoyable experience. In October 2025, I made yet another trip, revisiting Notre Dame de Paris, the Pantheon, La Villette, and the Canal Saint-Martin. Here is Part I of a multi-part article that includes my thoughts and images from my journey.
Grumpy in NYC
I spent a week in New York City beginning July 21. While there, I visited several museums, went to both Governors Island and Ellis Island, and did plenty of walking. Here are my thoughts about and photographs from an invigorating week.
Existential Fight, Part II
At the suggestion of a Chicago’s Ukrainian Community leader, I traveled to Washington, D.C. to cover four days of events surrounding the third anniversary of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. On Monday and Tuesday I headed to Capitol Hill with the group as they lobbied senators and House members on behalf of Ukraine. Here are my thoughts about and images from Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
NYC Zeitgeist
Signs are everywhere in New York City, taking many forms. Collectively, the signage reveals our collective consciousness. On this trip, the signage brought together Halloween and the Presidential election, which complemented each other. One produced anxiety, while the other reduced it. Here are my thoughts about the signs and images from daily walks.
London Calling
At the end of May 2024, I spent nine days in London. Here are my thoughts about and images from my time spent wandering the streets and hitting the museums.
Canterbury
Eight days ago I made the pilgrimage from London to Canterbury to visit the Canterbury Cathedral. Quite an experience. Here are my thoughts about and photographs from my journey.
