I'm a retired Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the Department of Recreation, Sport and Tourism. Although travel and tourism is my thing I love to take pictures of small towns. I started that hobby in 2010 here in central IL and expanded to over 2,500 communities in more than a dozen states. In 2020 I plan to start revisiting those towns and record what might have changed over the decade. I'm also a big fan of the National Parks.
