Here is a random sample of my photos. Visit my galleries for many more.

<p>Passenger, pigeons, and historic photos at a Berlin station.<br /></p>
<p>A gondola slices through the waters of the Rio di San Salvador – notice how much of the slender hull is above water.</p>
<p>Zoila stands in the middle of her kitchen, which doubles as a bakery in central Havana.<br /></p>
<p>A view shot from a prized window seat in a café along Buenos Aires' Avenida Corrientes. Despite the blustery weather, the avenue is still animated. Across the street is Café La Paz, something of an institution (still operating, but since remodeled away from this 90s po-mo look).</p>
<p>The transition from farm fields to high-rise blocks is sudden on some approaches to Sofia.</p>
<p>Potential spoiler for that one person who doesn't know the plot point.</p>
<p>Dramatic skies enhance the view from Kallur back toward the sea stacks off Eysturoy.</p>
