UPDATE: JULY 2012 - NEW ARTICLES AND 'NEWS' PAGE
Finally got around to finishing and uploading a couple of new articles. The first covers a trip through Wisconsin and Minnesota, including a diversion to visit the home of one of my literary heroes, Mike 'Truck' Perry. The seconds records a drive through the high plains of North Dakota, among the most memorable places we've ever visited. The next bit of news is the launch of a NEWS page, somewhere to place little stories that would otherwise get lost.

NEW GALLERY - BLACK-AND-WHITE TREATMENT
Earlier this year I asked Kevin Green to enhance some of my photographs for black-and-white printing. This was initially just a personal project - for my own use - but the results were impressive enough to convince me they were worth sharing here too. While the originals were all mine, credit really has to go to Kev.
