After spending thirty years as a television news photojournalist,
Mr. Carlson decided to slow down and travel.
When he's not looking for photo-ops in his own neighborhood
or sailing the easterly breezes off Santa Cruz Harbor,
he's traveling the world from Australia to Europe searching
for the little out of the way villages or the current "IN" spots
in between. He is the executive producer of a new televsison
show called Talkintravel Televison.
