PHOTOS

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


<p>A trio of penguins decline a seagull's attempt to join their conversation. Harsh.</p>
<p>A view out to sea over the rooftops of Casablanca. The preponderance of satellite dishes is striking.<br /></p>
<p>A group enjoying a spot of window shopping on a quiet night in Bressanone.</p>
<p>A graffito near the end of one of the innumerable Venetian alleys curtailed by a canal.</p>
<p>Members of the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo carry a banner displaying portraits of their relatives disappeared by Argentina's military junta of 1976-1983. <br /></p> <p>Mothers, grandmothers, and other relatives began these marches during the dictatorship, gathering each Thursday at the Plaza de Mayo to demand accountability and justice for their missing loved ones. Their movement adopted the name of the square. <br /></p> <p>This photo was taken in 1999, 22 years after they had commenced their rallies. They continue marching to this day.</p>
<p>A somewhat unorthodox take on Toronto's tallest tower.<br /></p>
