Open House Citadel Oxford

I am very happy to announce, that the very nice folks at the Citadel Bank in Oxford PA have asked me to be their featured Photographer for my series of Covered Bridges in the Oxford area!

The Open House will be Thursday, October 18th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm, and light snacks  and beverages will be served.

The four Covered Bridges to be featured are:

I originally photographed these bridges back in 2010, and since that time, these images have only existed in electronic form, but with this Open House, I finally get to actually print some!

If you are interested in attending, please let me know by October 11th!

Hope to see you there!

Converted 1994 Asia Travel Journal – DONE!

I have FINALLY converted an ancient Dreamweaver coded Travel Journal to WordPress!

Travel Journal to Asia in 1994

It was good to clean up some of the code, and get “it” back to a base standard in html!

Part of the joys over jumping various web platforms over the years…

In re-linking the various jpeg image files, I realize that I do need to go back and re-scan some of the old slides!

So if you are interested, please take a look and let me know what you think!
