Smart and blue

Sometimes the world takes you places you don't want to go, no matter how well you've planned the trip.

The Library of Congress has a great Golden Age of Jazz set of images available now on flickr. Great stuff!

Can't find my way back home

You've stopped praying for a better tomorrow,
you're eyes shed no more tears of sorrow....

Hope is an unemployment check,
dreams dying, the world a wreck....

Roll the dice

Chance reflected in blue...

Big Catch

This was just one of those things that I HAD to photograph. It captures the essence of the area, fish and fishing.

That'll be the day

Hard work and luck will take you further in life than talent alone...

Blue and Red

It kept us moving from place to place...
