City won’t let go of the past. And that’s a good thing. On a hot August day in 1896, gold was discovered in the Yukon near swampland that would later be known as Dawson City, and the Gold Rush was on. In less than two years, the population exploded […]
Today is World Elephant Day, a celebration of all the world’s elephants and the people and organizations that support them, and to bring attention to poaching and illegal trafficking that’s led to the slaughter of over 35,000 elephants per year. The Wildlife Conservation Society states that over 800,000 elephants […]
I opened the door of the tiny plane and hopped out, sinking into the wet snow up to my shins. Squinting behind my sunglasses, I scanned the sea of snow-covered peaks glistening against a blinding blue sky. We were completely alone. Tiny specs of life standing in the middle […]
I love a beautiful silhouette. It rarely matters of what. Every silhouette is shrouded in drama and mystery, and more than a drop or two of romance. I love silhouettes for what I don’t see as much as for what I do. Sure you can see more when the […]

Welcome to the Mermaid Parade. It’s quite a spectacle. When to go I’d read about the Parade for years before finally going in […]
Thunk..Thunk.. Thunk …Thunk … Everything is quiet except for the sound of large, heavy feet hitting the dirt. I sit and marvel at the spectacle in front of me. Two flesh and blood tanks engaged in a battle of will and muscle. Against all reason the rhinos move […]
There are plenty of things to do in New York City on a warm summer Saturday, but if you haven’t spent an afternoon with David Ippolito, The Guitar Man from Central Park, you’re missing out. Whether alone or with the family, he’s a big dose of feel good and who […]
“Aaaaaaaaaaaack!” Reflexively my jeep-mates lunged for their cameras. Panting from the adrenaline rush, they looked at me bewildered. “It was a mistake! It was a mistake! I didn’t mean to hit the shutter!” I yelped apologetically, feeling like a dope. For a second they stared at me and […]
