Texas

I was in Texas in 1990 and took several photos as I travelled around the state. The pictures are in my Texas Album on my Travel Page. The pictures shared here today were taken in San Antonio, but there are photos from the Dallas/Fort Worth Area and a few from rural areas. You can view the album here - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1987584541414504&type=3

I'm Back!!

We have just returned from quite an adventure. On October 17, we flew to London, then on to Barcelona where we spent a couple of days before boarding Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas for a 7 day cruise in the Western Mediterranean. Then we stayed aboard for a 13 day cruise across the Atlantic Ocean. After 9 days of cruising we stopped on the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean then on to San Juan, Puerto Rico with our last stop in Nassau in the Bahamas before docking in Fort Lauderdale on November 9. We spent another 10 days with friends in Florida before heading home after 35 days on the road.

As you can imagine, it was quite the trip and I have lots of new images to add to my stock photo collection. My plan is to share many of them with you over the next while. It will take a day or so before I download and edit the 4000 images I made, so today, since it is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of JFK, I am sharing photos I took in Dallas, Texas in 1990.

Like most people old enough to remember the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, I can tell you where I was when I first heard of the tragic event. It was a Friday afternoon and I was one of a group of high school students playing badminton in the school gym. While we were playing, a radio broadcast about the assassination was played over the PA system. Like others around the world, we were in shock. Even though I was only 14 years old at the time, and not really concerned about world events, I realized that it was an important historical event.


Over the years I read several books about the assassination and, like many others was never convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only person involved in the shooting of the President. When I was in Dallas in 1990, I visited Dealey Plaza and made a few photos of the Book Depository and the window from which the fatal shots were fired.

Feel free to share today's photos with family and friends.

Candid Photos

When the opportunity arises I often photograph other photographers while they are taking pictures. The guy in the first photograph was setting up to take a photograph near the House of Seven Gables in Salem, Massachusetts so I made an image with him as the main subject. I wonder what image he made ...

The female bicyclist taking in the view of Halifax one early, misty morning in June 1988 caught my attention and I made a few images before moving on.

The "cowboy" in San Antonio, Texas were posing with another person, so I took advantage of the situation and caught them smiling - at another camera.

A young woman and child were walking onto St. Pete's Beach from the large pink hotel and they added interest to the scene. Because they are small in the image, this is really a photo of the hotel rather than the people.
