Countries I’ve visited
I began making digital photographs in
2003, and then only sparingly. So obviously, I have no (or in some cases, only
film) photos of many of the places I’ve visited. For example, Cathy and I spent
the fall semester 1991 in Warsaw, Poland. It was an exciting time (the USSR
disintegrated that fall) in an endlessly fascinating place. And we took lots of
photos, all of them on film; alas none of them is (yet) digitized. And I’ve
visited many interesting places (e.g., Iceland, Belgium, Italy, etc.) with no
camera at all. So—mostly for my own amusement (and since you can’t tell from
looking at my photos)—here is a list of the countries I’ve visited, arranged in
chronological order of my visiting them (keep in mind that the definition of
“country” is more than a bit quirky, so with the list below, I’ve opted to err
on the side of uber-liberality; I may eventually add a fuller explanation of my
understanding of this word):
