Tracy Thornton, Guest Blogger

I’m a native Texan, amateur photographer and legal secretary who’s desperate to find a way to make a living traveling, drinking wine, and taking photos.  Until that miracle occurs, I’ll settle for the outrageous freedom that comes from having no children, spending my days devouring great food, traveling as much as possible, drinking way too much wine, fanatically watching Houston Texans football, and photographing every moment of it (to the great irritation of my boyfriend of 20 years).

Jerome Smesny, Paparazzi and Husband of Sheila

Husband sidekick to adventuring blogger, Sheila.  I take pictures of my wife taking pictures.  She mostly doesn’t mind.
