“For decades the majority of immigrants were English. They were Protestant, hard working, and spoke English. This goodwill was used to import millions of Micks, Wogs, and Dagos who are not only Catholic, but who form unions to oppress the benevolent owners of factories.”

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The White House.

This is the March image in my 2026 calendar, "The Public's Land." Canyon de Chelly is owned by the Navajo Tribal Trust, but it was designated a national monument (1931) and is managed by the National Park Service. Link in the first comment #photography #navajo #canyondechelly

"Hey, is this Heaven?"
"No. It's Yosemite."
This is the January image from my 2026 calendar, "The Public's Land." Notice the baseball backstop in the bottom center of the photo. Imagine Shoeless Joe Jackson emerging from the outfield trees.

Seriously, it must be nice to have someone you care for stick up for you when you stand up to Trump

Sunrise in Shenandoah National Park. We recently completed a 10-week cross country road trip that brought across the northern US, into Canada, to Maine, and down to the Great Smoky Mountains NP. There is much to be said for the simplicity of the road. #photography #fallfoliage #landscapephotography

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

The River Scarabs

Now that I've come home to my bigger monitors and more comfortable chair I can start getting creative with the shooting from the last two months.

The underlying image is a reflection in the Eel River in Northern California. #photography #abstract

I thought we were a bunch of Antifa Communist Anarchists, funded by Soros. Now I feel like an idiot for dressing appropriately.

#Nokingswilkesbarre A great turnout in the Public Square. Very peaceful and determined. Some ass**** drove around with Trump flags and brandished a gun. Cops pulled him over before he got halfway around the square, arrested him, and towed his Jeep.

Sunrise this morning near Dayton, Washington. After the previous night's rainstorm we weren't sure that the sun would come out to play, but after some hesitation we were granted about 10 minutes worth of sunshine.

Sunrise in the Palouse, 9/11/25.

Because we need peace and beauty in our lives.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.
