<p>A pair of hikers heading toward the Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel peak, visible during a brief clearing in the mists and clouds that were whipping around up there. </p>

Thanks for visiting. This website features my photography, writing, and a bit about me.

PHOTOS

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


<p>A helicopter whisks a VIP over the endless skyline of São Paulo during one of its whiskey-hued afternoons. There's no place quite like this city.</p>
<p>Morning mist over a small lake east of Berlin</p>
<p>Portrait of Dave at campsite after a day's hike.</p>
<p>A gang of miniature Beethovens wait to be placed in formation by a worker. Part of Bonn's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of its famous son's birth, the Beethoven statues were later put up for 'adoption'. I like mine very much. </p>
<p>A view of Wan Chai's verticality with the Wing Tak blocks on Bowrington Road front and centre, and more towers beyond in Causeway Bay.</p>
<p>A view shot from a prized window seat in a café along Buenos Aires' Avenida Corrientes. Despite the blustery weather, the avenue is still animated. Across the street is Café La Paz, something of an institution (still operating, but since remodeled away from this 90s po-mo look).</p>

<p>Saturday strollers along the waterfront pass through light and shadows.</p>
