New Links

I wanted to let everyone know about two of my new favorite links.
The first is the U.S. South Pole website. It has lots of very interesting information about the history of U.S. involvement in the South Pole. I myself have been involved since the 1957 when I was a PIO for Operation "Deep Freeze".
The other link is the Antarctica blog that I am also a contributer to. Here you will find postings by other Antarctica enthusiasts, including photography collections and interesting links.

Enjoy...

Antarctica: Information About the Coolest Place On Earth

Hello everyone,

I have been very busy since my last posting and wanted to take a break to share with you what I have been up to recently.    

In 2006, I had the pleasure of staging a keynote presentation to a group of IBM executives from New York and a few months later for the Cascadia Center for Urban Development.  It was a wonderful opportunity to present a photographic history of the city of San Francisco as seen through my lens.  San Francisco is a city with which I have a deep connection.  Following is a link to an article about the presentation:

More recently, I have been involved in local events in connection with the Barbary Coast Neighborhood Association.  One of the most interesting projects was the "Bridging Communities" event which created a human chain across the Golden Gate Bridge to support the Bay Area United Way.

And most recently, I helped organize a weekend getaway to Calistoga, CA which was sponsored by the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) and Bay Area Travel Writers (BATW).  As many of you know, I am a board member for the Northern California chapter of ASMP.  This trip was centered around the release of the new book Wine Across America - A Photographic Road Trip by Charles O'Rear and Daphne Larkin.  It was a wonderful event celebrating a beautiful new book.  For more information on the book you can visit:

Thanks for taking the interest in my work and look forward to future postings about a limited release of my book San Francisco: City by the Bay.
