Marty’s photo of the day #4331: I’m posting from my hotel room in New York. Tomorrow I begin my northeastern United States speaking tour. This Nile crocodile is one of the animals featured in my show, Around the World in 90 Minutes. Here’s my schedule: Wednesday, April 12, 7:00 PM, SUNY Brockport, Brockport, NY Thursday, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4330: This is the Zambezi River. Zimbabwe is on the near side and Zambia is on the far side. In between—lots of hippos!
Marty’s photo of the day #4329: After canoeing across the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Deb and I got to fly back over where we had been. I shot this photo from the window of our tiny airplane. Below, along the Jago River, was our first campsite, and the hill, “Bitty,” was our first-day climbing conquest. […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4328: Even though I live in Montana, there’s no doubt that I have performed more often in Pennsylvania than any other state (followed by New York, Washington, and North Carolina). One reason for this is that Penn State has campuses all over the state, and I’ve performed at most of […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4327: Alligators—becoming the most advanced species in Florida by default.
Marty’s photo of the day #4326: “Got any snacks?” This photo is a bit out of focus, but it cracks me up. This is Herbie, an agile wallaby. He was a rescue animal at Chillagoe Cabins in Queensland, Australia. At the time I shot this photo, Herbie was just a few months away from being […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4325: This is me, demonstrating my snake-calling skills, with an African rock python in Zimbabwe.
Marty’s photo of the day #4324: More than a year has passed since Martyman has taken over one of my posts, but yesterday someone requested him. When I told Martyman about the request, he was so touched that he pushed himself out from between Stormy Daniels’s breasts, finished his bottle of whiskey, and set up […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4323: I bought a new Canon R50 camera and three lenses to go with it. I’m eager to fully test my new equipment, but the changeover from winter to spring in Montana is the worst time of the year for photography. The lighting is poor, the wildlife numbers are down, […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4322: This is the historic Brown Grand Theatre in Concordia, Kansas. I performed my show, “Around the World in 90 Minutes,” here in 2009. If you look closely, you’ll see a deep orchestra pit in front of the stage. When I perform, I wear a wireless headset microphone and work […]
I’ve come to the conclusion that the absolute worst hell for me would be retiring. Since I started working at WEBC radio in Duluth, at age 13, I’ve always had to do something that felt extraordinary. I left radio at age 20 to become partners in a high-profile Minneapolis talent-management agency; left that agency six […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4322: Crossing the stormy Drake Passage, between Antarctica and South America. Wait? Did I say Stormy? Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! Stormy! I dedicate today’s photo to a true American hero. Thank you, Stormy Daniels, for your service. (And your hilarious tweets.)
