About Me
- The Thumbnail Traveler
- Welcome to the online blog for traveler/writer/photographer Steven Barber. Come in. Relax. Take off your shoes and socks -- or any other article of clothing, this is the internet. Have a look around. I hope to intrigue, amuse, entertain, and maybe provoke you just a little. I love to find adventure. All I need is a change of clothes, my Nikon, an open mind and a strong cup of coffee.

Fifty-Four
My travels began at an early age. My father was a Navy man, which required the family to move quite a few times during my childhood. It also meant he was required to leave the family on months-long deployments to far-off places.Not only did we get to see and explore strange new worlds, but Dad would send us notes and audio tapes from even further-flung and exotic destinations. Mom made sure my sisters and I understood the context and meaning behind his absence, as well as using maps and globes to let us follow his movements.
As even a small boy I knew the world was far vaster and more interesting than what I could see from my bedroom window.
It fueled my wanderlust, which continues to this day.
Today I celebrate my 54th birthday, looking back to think "what a gift".
Thank you, Mom and Dad.
(These two pictures are from a day trip we took while living in Japan.(On the left, a rogue wave had just crested the seawall, and I was't going to let it intimidate me.
