Waveland, Mississippi, 8 AM, August 29, 2006

This is the virtual home of an itinerant photographer and code writer. Here you will find pictures of open country, rural houses, urban neighborhoods, and Main Streets. You will also find information about SmartCode education.

Since Hurricane Katrina, my pictures have come from the ravaged Gulf Coast and other distressed places. Over my first fifty years, I've watched the disappearance of traditional towns, architectural beauty, and open lands from America. It is the Long Hurricane of suburban sprawl. My concern about this led me to the New Urbanism planning movement, which protects and creates good places all along the rural-to-urban transect. So now I'm using photography both to report and to rebuild.
