I'm surprised at how the original PBS broadcast on my photography continues to get added to the websites of its affiliates -- this one in Maryland. Not complaining! Just grateful for its longevity. You can watch the program on my website: xiomaro.com/pbs.html

My supersharp cataract-free vision spotted this look back at all the storytelling episodes of 2023, which singles out the PBS profile on my photography.

Visit State of the Arts if you haven’t seen the episode or want to watch it again: youtube.com/watch?v=8AO4hslDRk

@DJNoneYa Good luck with the surgeries. You will be amazed at the improvement. In addition to everything being super sharp (I now have 20/20 vision), everything looks brighter, more colorful and contrasty, and greater depth (more 3D looking).

Done with my cataract surgeries. It’s amazing how much better I can see now. Happy holidays to you and your family.

On doctor’s orders, my temporary post-cataract sunglasses. I think Yoko Ono, Ray Charles, and Bono would approve.

For over a decade, I’ve been wearing sunglasses even on cloudy days. They’ve become sort of a trademark. But it was never about style. It was on the urging of my ophthalmologist who has warned me about my ever-growing cataracts.

This week, I finally went under the laser for one eye. The other eye is up next soon. Maybe it will improve my photography!

It’s fun when friends send me snapshots after they find my book – this one at the Bush-Holley House gift shop in Connecticut. But the only place you can get a signed limited edition copy with an uncirculated Weir Farm commemorative quarter is at my website: xiomaro.com/book.html

I ordered an oliebollen (a/k/a smoutebollen) from this Amsterdam concession stand, but cancelled it when I realized they did not take credit cards – and I did not have any Euros. So I stepped away and busied myself with street photography. Then I heard her calling me… She kindly and generously gave me one at no charge. It was delicious. Of course, I had to shoot a portrait of Pan and her co-worker.

Looks like people are actually watching the re-runs of the PBS episode about my photography. 🙂 I’ve gotten some nice messages and even sold a signed copy of this booklet, which is available here xiomaro.com/booklet_mnhp.html

Street photography, National Park photography, and now rock n' roll photography -- all my loves converging. I met the band Haunt the Woods and photographed their show in Glasgow. More with the rest of the band after I return to New York. Note that his hair is longer and less frizzy than mine. hauntthewoods.com/

@CrypticMirror Oh I'm sure you are correct and forgive my imprecision. As a first time visitor, the easiest way for me to find my general destination is to search for "Loch Lomond and the Trossachs." When I get back to the studio in New York, I will have to review the many images I took and try to pinpoint the locations. Perhaps I can message you with questions? And thank you for viewing the image and for commenting! 🙂
