Road trip to Hungary, part 17
The final leg, Belgium and then Calais on the north coast of France
The trip that was planned to be about 1700 km each way in fact was over 5500 km, mostly due to our various detours.

Cuba 1998 – a 35mm film retrospective
Found myself in Havana, Cuba with former New Millennium features editor Sarah Keen, back in the spring of 1998, shortly before my photography “went digital”.
