OUT, AND ABOUT

I had a nice visit from my older Brother, and younger Sister. They drove down fron Maine to spend a day riding bicycles, touring The City, and enjoying a nice selection of food offerings.

I had been a little hesitant on riding, as my left quadricep has been rather sore for the past two weeks, and I did not want to make it worse. Turns out that what it needed was a sixteen mile bicycle ride.

We stopped for lunch at a little place that served a wonderful plate of pasta with a bolonaise sauce that hit the spot. We chatted over drinks about my future bicycle trip, and what I hoped to see, and accomplish.

The list of what I hope to see is to long for this post, but what I hope to do, beyond gathering a substantial number of images, is to bring as many followers along as I can muster. From the comfort of your own chair I hope I can give you a bit of the feeling of what it is like to go on a long bicycle tour. The excitment, and adventure, as well as the challenges, and struggles.

The departure is still a little over a year away, and I am so looking forward to being on the road again.

Born, and raised in New England, and living the last thirty years in midcoast Maine, I took a job as Shipkeeper aboard the Wavertree at South Street Seaport Museum in the Winter of 2016/17. On my off days I find myself exploring the City with a camera at hand. At the moment I am shooting with a Mamiya RB67, but recently acquired an 8x10 Kodak Master View, with the hopes of doing some wet plate portrait work.
