The first National Park we traveled to was Wicklow National Park. It offered some amazing views after a long hike. Here is a self portrait of me looking out over Wicklow Mountains. There were a lot of trails at different hiking levels that offered great views. Here […]

Read MoreRock School U.K.
I was invited by friends of mine to watch their young son Gage rock out with his band. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. The Rock school was awesome is set up for kids between the ages of 9 – 16. What was even more impressive was the fact that the bands are put together in just a week. Every rock school is just a week long. To think that the […]
Read MorePhotographing Isle of Skye, Scotland
I was under the impression that the Lake District was the most beautiful place in the United Kingdom. Lake District to be featured in a future blog. My new favorite place in the U.K. is now Isle of Skye. There was a beauty that I was not fully prepared for.

People always feel deplorable about slavery and wonder how this could have happened and that they […]
Read MoreUsain Bolt: Peace Be the Journey
It’s rare that I am upset or indifferent after an American wins a gold medal. This is exactly what I and 50,000 spectators felt when Justin Gatlin won the gold medal at the IAFF World Championships in London. This race was to be Bolt’s last solo race and he was expected to finish a winner. He has not only dominated track but sports like so few have done. Even though he lost he is still […]
