The Road
On shore duty stateside for most of my Navy tour, it seems the government conspires to send me with camera to wherever I find action. From boot camp in San Diego I’m sent to Moffett Field near San Francisco in time to photograph the Summer of Love. Next, I marry Diane Rowenhorst, a hometown girl, and we roar off to the Naval School of Photography in Pensacola, Florida. After several months in photography school, we travel north to Washington D. C. for a two year assignment at the Defense Intelligence Agency. From D.C., Diane and I camp our way across the Trans Canadian Highway. We return down California’s Highway 1 to Moffett Field for a few months before I’m deploy overseas to the Philippines and Vietnam. The road trip alone generates photographs worth showing and stories worthy of telling.

Pennsylvania is more picturesque than I had imagined. Towns are quaint and the back roads are decorated with poetic old structures. We pass this little market on High St. Always I find mom and pop markets compelling. It’s as if I try to find my way back to my early youth in Dresbach, Minnesota and a summer day on the steps of Hussman’s Market.
