PHOTOS

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


<p>'In democracy and dictatorship, the state tortures you.' A tag capturing a certain Argentine nihilism.</p>
<p>A trio of penguins decline a seagull's attempt to join their conversation. Harsh.</p>
<p>A lioness and her cub eye the photographer. </p>
<p>Fresh temptation in a bakery window.<br /></p>

<p>Escalators in a Hong Kong shopping mall prove reminiscent of M.C. Escher's drawings.</p><p>Pardon the pun in the title. Had to be done.</p>
<p>A pretty corner store, no longer in use, somewhere in western Uruguay.</p>
