Shameless plug...

OK, I know I wrote that this blog is not about photography. But since there is not much going on in the Trip Planning front, why not drop some promo here on the book that I just finished?

This selection of photographs comes from a collection of approximately 3,000 images taken during an excursion in the fall of 2006. One objective was to get photographically acquainted with the landscape characteristics of the North American Southwest and to lay the foundation for a personal body of work that portrays this remarkable area of the world.

As you may have started to guess, photography will be a big part of next year's trip. A lot of the route planning is based on hitting certain areas of the country at the time of the year when they are at their best. Besides expanding my current body of work of landscape photography, I am planning a couple of documentary projects.
