Jan 2, 2021 – Bike Logistics - Antananarivo, Madagascar

I eventually developed a more stable way of hauling my kid's bike. It was less impressive looking, but it didn't fall over as much.

Dec 24, 2020 – One day the Malagasy will dominate – Antananarivo, Madagascar

Does writing a message of Malagasy pride undermine itself by being in French, or is it meant as a heads up for vazahas like me who don’t speak Malagasy?

View of a utility pole – Antananarivo, Madagascar

From Fara West, a music venue overlooking the city. I played a gig there last week, and there is no photographic evidence that the band was ever there.

Not very smart.

This guy, a panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis), keeps coming back to my yard, only to be harassed by my dogs. I'm worried about him.

Jul 12, 2019 – Grounded in Time – Fokontany Betania, Morondava, Madagascar

This traditional fishing village could become a tourist destination if they wanted it to be one. Hopefully they never will.
