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.
All in Architecture
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.
Time Trippin'
Yep, I returned to Madison, Wisconsin this weekend for a wedding. It was too beautiful Sunday to spend the afternoon driving back to Chicago, so here are my thoughts and images from my on walk around the city and the campus. Time Trippin’.
9/11
On September 11, 2023, I spent a good portion of my day at the 9/11 Memorial Site in New York City and in the streets surrounding the site. Here are my observations about and images from my experience.
The Walk
Experiencing New York City in all its glory on a 10-mile walk. Punk rock, Cage basketball, Skateboards, Speed Chess, Jazz Musicians, the Barbie Cafe, 9/11 Memorial, Playing in the Fountain, and Assorted Other Stuff. Here are my thoughts about and images from the day’s walk
