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

<p>Two girls explore their flood-damaged former neighbourhood just behind the national congress on the banks of the Paraguay River. Their homes were flooded a few weeks before Christmas in 1997, forcing their already struggling families to relocate to makeshift residences in a public square.</p>
<p>Sunbeams and a cloud inversion in Abruxzo</p>
<p>Contrasting styles at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a Buddhist temple complex in Kowloon. <br /></p>
<p>A lioness and her cub eye the photographer. </p>
<p>Balinese Hindus create these colourful <em>canang sari</em> baskets from palm leaves. They are left at temples, in front of homes, and in many other places as daily offerings.</p>
<p>Details of a doorway on Calle del Forno, one of Venice's numerous alleys.</p>
<p>A commuter catches some some shut-eye on one of Buenos Aires' vintage subway carriages. The system dates from 1913, while the wooden cars on Lí­nea A were built only a few years later and are still in use.</p>
