Photo Gallery*
A Generation in Motion (1978) and my travel writing have showed me the value of photos joined with words in telling a story. I photograph everything I write about, and sometimes photography precedes writing. Often I just explore a place--in Minnesota or abroad--on photographic expeditions. Whenever possible (some publishers are not easily convinced), I join words and photos in a book or story. My photos, reflecting my mind, tend to be elegiac portraits of the diminishing landscape, natural and constructed. The older ones now have some historical value.
