PHOTOS

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


<p>A meta call to arms in Athens' Exarcheia district, referencing <em>La Marseillaise</em> via Serge Gainsbourg.</p>
<p>Clouds cling to the contours of Kalsoy island, closing in on the tiny village of Syðradalur.</p>
<p>A tall oak and other trees coated just perfectly during a rare Berlin snowfall. <br /></p> <p>As I took this picture, a woman walking her dog passed by and said 'No one will ever believe those pictures are from Berlin'. Fair point.</p>
<p>An elegant flat with improbably narrow top floors at the corner of Juncal and Montevideo. </p>
<p>An alley in the twilight.</p>
<p>A view over the village of Fámjin. The structure in the foreground, slowly being reclaimed by the grass, is a stone sheep shelter.</p>
<p>Vines and a tree gradually reclaim a colonial era building in Jakarta's historic core.</p>
<p>Portrait of Sarah</p>
