The Royal Wedding

Will you be there when Kate Middleton walks down the aisle? Will you see the predictably broad grin on Prince William’s face as he watches her make her way toward the altar?

No? Well my invitation hasn’t arrived either, but that isn’t going to keep me from enjoying the occasion.

When Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer married, I was there. Not “there” as in inside St. Paul’s Cathedral, but “there” as in “in London enjoying the celebration.”

Back in 1981, I stretched my Royal Wedding budget by s

Aswan Blue

Aswan is a Nubian city in the south of Egypt, on the first cataract of the Nile - where Agatha Christie wrote her murder story.

Here, I fall into a pattern; up at four thirty in the morning; I dress and put my photo gear together.  Then, for eight cents, I take an engine-powered ferry and cross the Nile.   I sit knee to knee, the only white man in a boat filled with turbaned Nubian men; dressed  in Galibeyas; garrulously Salaaming each other; waving with their walking sticks; friendly and quick-s

The China Syndrome

A week before our trip, Japan was rocked. The triple whammie was capped by a nuclear “problem” that as of this writing could still result in a meltdown, and possibly burn a hole straight thru the planet. This very unlikely event is called “The China Syndrome” in the west. In Japan they probably call it the New Jersey Syndrome.

We therefore came to China. Well Hong Kong anyway. Fragrant Harbor. Victoria’s Island. These are the names the brits used for it when they colonized it. I call it the last
