Durand Eastman Park. Took the Welta Weltur out last Wednesday for the first time in nearly four years. I love this camera. Dad gave it to me when they broke up housekeeping in 2009. It’s the camera that got me back into film.

I am a photographer, walker, and sometime paddler, a theologically-educated geek living in Rochester, NY. Once upon a time I was an Army helicopter jockey in Alaska.

I started with film, switched to digital, then went back to classic film cameras.

With major back surgery in August 2019 and bunion repair in January 2020 now behind me, I am gearing up to start Appalachian Trail NOBO in June, 2021 to celebrate my seventy-first birthday. Blogging for The Trek.
