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, 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 (and here
is a map with these countries shaded in blue), arranged in chronological order
of my visiting them (keep in mind that the definition of “country” is more than
a bit quirky; I may eventually add a fuller explanation of my understanding of
this word):
