Every year brings new opportunities for photography.
2015 was no exception.

I totally redesigned my website late in 2015. Take a look if you get a chance: www.tombellart.com. |
My other big announcement is that effective January 1, 2016, I'm retiring from my long-time position as a college administrator and educator to devote full time to photography. I'll have more time for international travel and to take on the projects that really interest me.

Now, jumping to Illinois, I found these images of an old farmstead when I took a detour around a delay on the Interstate:
