Traveling Through

On the road or on foot, a look at some of the random things that catch my eye

From 2013 to 2020, I faithfully posted a Daily Photo to my Facebook photography page, but stopped due to the pandemic. Efforts to pick it back up were met with a lack of engagement, in part because I did not purchase advertising, which means the posts are suppressed in the algorithm.

Most of the “Visual Stories” you’ll see here have a theme — a particular place that has special meaning or an interesting story attached, or a behind-the-scenes look at my photography. But I also shoot anything that catches my eye, and these random images don’t necessarily have a particular story or theme attached.

Here are a dozen of those shots, taken locally and during a series of recent travels.

Outside a movie theater in Staunton, Va.

Boarded up house — Houston, Texas

Cloudy morning in D.C.

Twilight in central Virginia.

Trees at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.

Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Phone booth at the New York City public library.

Pay no attention to the beautiful sunset — Maryland-Delaware border

Sunbeam through the moss — Lake Livingston, Texas

Moon in the morning — Wintergreen, Va.

Nice view — Washington, D.C.

I hope you’ll let me know which ones you like in the comment section and answer two questions for me as well.

1. Does an image make you laugh, smile, question, or wonder why I would take the time to click the shutter for something like that?

2. Would you like to see future “Traveling Through” albums?
