Welcome to Breakfast in America

My photo journal is an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever happens to catch my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, and whatever my current obsessions are. At the moment, they are backpacking, hammock camping, and, I’m always, taking pictures.

Romance Scams

A small sample of the scam accounts found on Facebook

Unfortunately, my photographs are being stolen by criminals to populate social media, game sites, and dating accounts. They are being used to defraud vulnerable people in romance scams (aka catfishing).
