Most of the material found here is for the traveler in all of us. The journey to the grocery store can be just as revealing as the encounters on a two-lane highway. For those that like to explore, to see new places and people, to ponder the wonderful gift of travel, I hope you find something here that inspires you.
D. Brent Miller has written and photographed for daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, and provided communication consulting to others, “helping others tell their stories.” He has completed a number of personal projects, and has built a body of work in small towns and rural issues and now in travel writing.
He is a former professor of Journalism and Photojournalism having taught at Loras College, Dubuque, Iowa, and Northern Illinois University, DeKalb.
After freelancing and providing commercial photographer for three decades, in retirement, he continues to write and photograph, but focuses on his avocations of teaching fly fishing, motorcycling around the Midwest, and volunteering occasionally with Veteran’s organizations.
An avid motorcyclist, Brent has traveled all over the Midwest, West and South, and when he motorcycled to the New England states and entered Vermont in June 2016, he completed his personal quest: 48 states by motorcycle.
He has taught disabled Veterans all aspects of fly fishing, and conducts a presentation annually for motorcyclists, “Fly Fishing for the Motorcycle Traveler.” He also teaches others about Tenkara, the art of Japanese fly fishing. It is a minimalist approach to fly fishing.
Brent holds Master’s Degrees in Journalism (1993) and Communication Studies (1989) from Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois, and a B.A. in Applied Christian Studies from Trinity College, Deerfield, Illinois.
