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):
