While I love the convenience and quality
of my digital camera, nothing compares to the look of black and white
film. In this section I've put together several galleries, focusing
on some of the more consistent topics I've shot over the years. |

For about a year, in addition to my
regular show, I hosted a beat poetry and spoken word program on KABF
in Little Rock. I also took every opportunity to interview some of my
favorite writers and poets and have included those here. |

PHOTO OF THE MONTH:
Nearly three years after his death, I recently came across this snapshot of Peter Jennings and I and opted to scan it in. It was taken after I watched him anchor ABC's World News Tonight in my hometown of Little Rock in November 1992. This was shortly after Bill Clinton had been elected President and Jennings was there reporting on the transition team. It's quite a goofy looking photo, I know. I had gone downtown and saw him by chance and watched how he did the entire broadcast, then spoke to him briefly afterward, long enough to take this photo. You can click on the image above to enlarge. |

This rather self-indulgent personal web site is dedicated to documenting my career and other assorted interests. I continue steadily revising it, most recently adding a page on Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who has now dropped out of the race. I covered him quite heavily in his early political career and have included newspaper stories that I wrote and MP3 files of radio reports and an interview I recorded with him in 1996 in the weeks before he became Arkansas governor. I have a few train-related pages, including a Travel Story that I wrote for the Miami Herald in 2006 about taking a long train ride on Amtrak's Texas Eagle to my hometown of Little Rock. I also continue slowly expanding my section looking at the long defunct Rock Island Railroad in Arkansas, with recent photos and MP3 interviews with former employees. You can listen to a half-hour program I put together in 2004 providing a radio tour of Miami's Gold Coast Railroad Museum, which has an incredible collection. I've also got photos of Miami's fascinating, long shuttered Marine Stadium, which was damaged by Hurricane Andrew. I welcome your Feedback. Also, if you notice any errors, links that no longer work or other problems with this site, please let me know. You can click on on any photo to see a full-size image. Also, most MP3 files available here are at either 56 kb or 128 and can take a while for slower connections to download. |
