Hometown:
Arvada, CO
About Me:
I am working on "Photography and the Geographical Imagination" with a specific concentration in mass-circulation of imagery to spur travel and exploration; the exploration of race and gender in the production and consumption of photographic imagery; the use of photographs or other images as primary sources for historical research on issues of race, ethnicity, and anthropology and the urge to discover and explore; history of photography by the American Geographical Society, National Geographic Society and similar national entities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; circum-Pacific gold-rush photography; management and indexing of photographic archives for historical research; photographic meaning in functional and documentary context; collection and organization for future academic research by full-time or freelance National Geographic Photographers; as a side-line to the general photographic interest, I am an intense collector of all National Geographic publications, videos, filmstrips and related ephemera.
Favorite National Geographic publication:
Machu Picchu with Yale. Any of Hiram Bingham's articles, and some correspondence he sent that has wondered into my hands
Favorite travel destination:
Andes are nice and our daughter has been promised her first expedition if mom wins a big lawsuit

    They are in south texas, but my father can take them to san antonio any day, for he works there. If you're interested in buying, we can meet half way or something.
