Welcome to “52 Weeks,” a new series published on Saturdays. Each week features seven images taken during my career as a photographer. All photos have short captions that include the place and month/year it was taken.
If you are interested in purchasing a print or the non-exclusive rights to one of the digital images, please contact me via email.
Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
A Note to Subscribers
This year I’ve introduced a paid subscription model for “Our Reality Show” with three tiers — monthly, annually, and founding member. If you can upgrade your subscription, that would be a wonderful show of support for my work.
If you can’t, that’s OK too. New and current subscribers can still access all content here for free. Please continue to read, enjoy, and comment because that means the world to me.
If you opt for a paid subscription, I promise to “pay it forward” by donating 25% of all revenue to worthy causes. I also will report those donations back to you.
Thank you for supporting “Our Reality Show.”

An institution in Charleston, W.Va., the two-hour show is taped live and airs more than two dozen new episodes a year (the rest are reruns) on more than …
The Pearl Harbor memorial is one of the most moving memorials I’ve ever visited. I took a photo of the flag from that same vantage point when I was there.
I'm kind of surprised because there are a few others that are right up my alley, but the Pear Harbor shot is my favorite. Beautiful. Happy Saturday!
