BIGLY CEREMONIAL - A monk beats a huge drum during a ceremony at a temple in Seoul, Korea in 1988. I was in Korea for the 1988 Summer Olympics as a digital transmitter technician for the Associated Press. (From the archive while I'm traveling)

HOMECOMING - I'm headed back to Indiana for Vincennes Lincoln High School Homecoming and my 55th high school class reunion. I started taking pictures of high school events in 1967 - including this photo of the 67' Homecoming spirit bonfire. This week while I am traveling the POTDs will be from the collection of photographs in the exhibit - From Tri-X to Pixel Puddles - 50 years of Paul Willis Photographs. POTD will be back to birds and the beaver pond next week.

GETTING SEEDY - A male Downy Woodpecker takes a sunflower seed from the sunflower seed feeder. The change in the weather seems to have made the woodpeckers favor black oil sunflower seeds. Fall is here in New Hampshire!
