On The Road.
Upon the road less traveled, where whispers stir the trees,
We journey forth with open hearts, to where the wild wind flees.
Through winding paths and secret lanes, where wonders never cease,
We meet the souls who call these lands their haven, their release.
In hidden hamlets, laughter rings, and tales of old unfold,
Each face a map of stories, in their eyes, adventures bold.
From cities large to backroad village, we wander without care,
For on the road less traveled, life's magic fills the air.

On the Road and Off the Beaten Path.
It’s not always the destination, but the journey itself, that provides the grandest nuggets in life. The destination may be where you’re going. But getting there, the unexpected places and the joy of meeting the local people, is the sweetest reward.
When I just started out in photography (early 90s) I traveled with a small Minolta film camera. Conditions were usually less than perfect for photography in most of the places I wandered in. Finding film and having it developed was nearly impossible in some countries. Film canisters sometimes got lost or damaged so the fact that I was able to come back with anything was quite a miracle in itself.
Here are some street scenes from a few of the many memorable places that I had the good fortune to visit over the decades of traveling with my camera.
