These impressions were collected while I worked as a photojournalist, but few were ever published. Typically these frames were made in the spare moments "between" stories and as often as not had nothing whatever to do with my assignments.



These small black and white souvenirs become more precious to me as that time and those memories become shadows deeper in my past. They remind me that the journey is usually more significant and more surprising than the destination.
