The Art of Travel

Traveling is often defined as going from one place to another. To journey.

Who was the first tourist? Who wrote the first travel piece? My guess is that whoever took those first steps away from the safety of a cave or tree and return to tell about was the the first traveler and travel guide.

After many decades of traveling about I want to share my experiences and knowledge, especially in the areas of drawing and photography. As an Army Brat I had the pleasure to travel during most of my growing up years. I saw Iceland, Germany, Mexico, Guam, Hawaii and a lot of the United States. As an adult I've seen Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Panama, Venezuela, France, England, Spain, Italy, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, South African and St. Pierre et Michelon.

Enjoy the travel slide shows, travel photography and travel illustrations. I'll even help you out with with ideas to make your photos better and give you ideas for planning unusual trips. Heck, I'll even suggest some places to stay and eat. I want to hear from you as well, especially from those artists in the audience.

Where to go, What to see? Decisions, decisions....!

Africa

 

Africa, the Dark Continent. Sounds very exotic, especially the part of dealing with wild beasts. Here's a trip that was more than just looking at animals.You need to check it out to understand why we went.

Italy
Ah, buon giorno y'all. Another one of those un-tourist type trips.
France Ah, le tour Eiffel. C'est magnifique. Especially during Christmas with a side trip to London
England Apres Paris, a short visit to Londontown for New Years.
Hawaii Another one of those, have to go for a wedding, what do we do afterwards?
The World A sampler of various locations and scenes.
