PHOTOS

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


<p>Portrait of Caroline under a willow tree.</p>
<p>A view of the Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel peak from a bit down-valley. </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>A pretty corner store, no longer in use, somewhere in western Uruguay.</p>
<p>A farmer's harvest.<br /></p>
<p>A detail of the crumbling masonry that once enabled the Great Wall to traverse the terrain of imperial China's border. I understand these sections have been restored since this photograph was taken.<br /></p>
<p>A rainy day in Istanbul, shot through the iron-grille windows from Pandeli, a classic restaurant tucked away in the 17th Century Mısır Çarşısı covered market.</p>
<p>A family slightly outnumbered by their contingent of matching dogs.</p>
