Sometimes I get the feeling that everything's alright
After a long winter, I find myself thinking constantly about hitting the road and making photographs. So here I am, a bit apprehensive as I’ve yet to receive my Covid vaccine, exploring the wide open spaces of Western Kansas looking for images to add to my Sunflower Blues as March nears its end.
And how does Kansas welcome me? With a whole lot of people that think Covid is already over. We are so close to managing this whole thing, as close to an end as we can get with something as ever-changing as a virus. Yet people cannot wear a mask for another couple of months until the population is vaccinated.
So it goes, right?

The cold calms even my jittery heart
It’s been an eventful winter - so far. Any Nebraskan knows that it’s foolish to speak of winter’s end in when February is still around.
My wife and I moved to a new home in December. It was a strange experience, but we are largely settled in at this point. I have space to stretch out and move forward with some things I’ve been wanting to do for some time now. Excuses, no more.
Winter itself wasn’t too bad this year, that is until last week’s cold snap. Now it feels as if it has dragged on forever.
I spent Saturday wandering snowy gravel roads in Saunders County. At first there was some incredibly thick fog, so thick at times that photographs appear to capture nothing but blank white.. But then the sun shone through and the fog was gone in an instant.
