Photography and Writing

With my time in the USA approaching its end, I have been spending my days studying maps and reading books related to travel. 

I sometimes find myself attempting to clarify my vision of travel, and how I should spend my time while on the road. The few trips I have taken (New York City, Montreal, Paris) revolved around wandering the streets with camera and notebook in hand. 

I have decided that making digital photos and writing about my experiences will impart a pleasant meaning to my travels. I will bring a digital camera and laptop computer, wandering by day and writing and editing pictures by night.

A few days ago I had a request from someone who owns a few of my photographs. He recently returned from a long stay in Japan and he asked if I would print some old b/w negatives that he picked up while there. It is too large a project (forty negatives) with too little time, unfortunately.
