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.

Photographs

Romance Scams

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

Are you a victim or just curious? You can read more about how my pictures have become involved in this organized criminal activity in this post, Romance Scams: Will The Real Gary Allman, Gary Brooks, Rick Brooks, Fabienne Duval, et al. Please Stand Up?

Photo Albums

One of the things I like about Breakfast in America is that with some forethought I can create ‘virtual’ photo albums out of almost any combination of pictures. Below are what I think are the most logical collections of my photographs.
