Tony and I went to the States from the end of June to the middle of August. We've been to America a couple of times before and we wanted to revisit some favourite places and look for some stunning new ones to photograph.

For Tony's blog about the places we went to, and some amazing photographs, click on "Tony's web site" in the links list below. If you want to know more about bath plugs, shopping for shoes, random encounters with interesting people, technological (and other types of) incompetence, the nature of clouds, and the delights of US State Highway driving, you will find some of it here.

Tony is the photographer and I am his lovely assistant. I am the small square white blob in the distance, wearing the red or orange backpack. I provide human scale against majestic natural wonders so you can be truly awed by the size of them. Sometimes I even carry his tripod for him. I also (occasionally) document the master at work.
