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.

Sundown at Hercules Glades, looking southeast – Hiking in today, I realized that I could attend my meeting the next morning if I could get a good cell signal. So off I set in search of a decent signal. Two-minute read, +2

Romance Scams

A small sample of the scam accounts found on Facebook

Unfortunately, my photographs are being stolen by criminals and are used to populate social media, games, and dating accounts. The criminals use the pictures of me in plots to defraud women 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.
