Cozette and I went north to my folk’s camp to spend our first anniversary. A nice, slow time in the country.

I’ll be away from computers for a few days. Yes.

John Hickenlooper is the mayor Of Denver, Colorado and the Democratic candidate for governor of Colorado. His campaign contacted me a while back to acquire rights to photograph I had taken of him at the last Democratic National Convention. I was pleased to see that they are using my photo for both his main Bio page and for his Facebook photo.

I have been working for a school system outside of Boston; doing a series of portraits and environment photos. The other day Cozette and I visited seven different schools…snapping away…and took a few for myself.

I have to make 15 portraits for a local government this week and wanted a simple, easily reproducible set-up that is modern and full of pop with not a whiff of “high school portrait”…I think I got it. Thanks to my very patient wife for being my model.

Iona was covered with sheep and it was lambing time so the little guys were everywhere…the beach included.

Cozette and I spent a couple of nights on Iona. A special place….tiny island of of the Island of Mull which is itself a small Island off the west coast of Scotland.

While in Edinburgh Cozette and I were graciously hosted by Jackie and Andrew. They took us on a day trip to Tantallon Castle;  a 14th century castle overlooking the Firth of Forth…beautiful place.
