Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Penny Jessop asks, Besides your writing and the research that you do for that writing, do you have other artistic sides to your life.? Do you have any hobbies? What do you do to keep yourself busy on long plane rides?

I don’t take too many plane rides anymore. Since the pandemic started and I launched this podcast, my hands have been pretty full.

That being said, as far as artistic endeavors, I’m an accomplished travel photographer. I’ve been named Travel Photographer of the Year by both the North American Travel Journalists Association and the Society of American Travel Writers. I’ve done gallery showings, and my entire apartment has my photos on the walls.

Again, I don’t do much photography anymore, but I’ve done quite a bit.
