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.

#Inktober52 prompt for January 16.

I am navigating downstairs with the walker and upstairs with the cane. Old friends. #AppalachianTrail2021 for #Birthday71 is definitely a […]

First Things First
Bex posted Habit and Balance on her Bumbles and Light blog. That led me to Amanda’s February Prompt-a-Day post. The challenge is to take the prompt for the day and write something based on it….

Where to start?
I suppose we could call this Steve’s ramblings. I’m not going to publicize it much until I figure out whether I have anything worthwhile to say.
