I now have 17,525 photos on Flickr, but by the time you read this that number will likely have changed. That’s because I’ve gotten serious about catching up with my photo backlog lately.

I’ve got a new essay up at Friends of Lafitte Corridor.

And thanks to Michael Homan for taking these photos.
The nearest airport is in Connecticut, so when your plane lands you still have a good long drive to get to Amherst. You talk to…
