June finds itself between Memorial Day in May and the Fourth of July. It’s between the somber sacrifice of one and the celebration of the other that I find myself thinkng about patriotism. What does it mean and who gets to define it? Do we, the people, get to define patriotism, or do the talking heads and politicians get to tell us what it means? June is dedicated to the idea of patriotism and what it means.

February: Lonely Places
No hugs. No hearts. No kisses. No Valentines here. February is a month of lonely places. Some of those lonely places are physical and some we carry in our hearts.

January: On Drinking
I’m starting 2019 with a new look and a new direction. Photography is still the center of this blog, but I’ve decided to go in some new directions too. I’m not certain where these new directions will take me, but I’ve always enjoyed the trip as much as the destination. I ended 2018 with the Champagne of Beers and a few rolls Ilford Plus 125 so it’s fitting that I start 2019 with the topic of drinking.
Here’s to an interesting and productive 2019.
