PHOTOS

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


<p>A quiet (abandoned?) cabin in the forests of Askøy, an island off Norway's coast near Bergen.</p>
<p>Cutting through the bullshit: 'I don't have Facebook, my life is real'</p>
<p>Umm, right.<br /></p>
<p>In Kliptown, Soweto, a monument conveys the popular demands of the Freedom Charter – drawn together in 1955 as a unified statement of ambitions by numerous anti-Apartheid political movements including the African National Congress (ANC). The Charter is unambiguous in challenging the racialist regime and its organisers were branded traitors by the Apartheid government. <br /></p><p>Less than 40 years later, sections of the Freedom Charter were incorporated into South Africa's new constitution, and the ANC emerged as the ruling party. </p>
<p>A cluster of makeshift homes on the outskirts of San Salvador. Such homes represent years of effort by their inhabitants, but often these neighbourhoods lack essential services like plumbing, refuse collection, and official recognition of the residents' title to their land. These districts are peripheries not only in the geographical sense, but also in terms of political and economic attention.</p>
<p>Two giraffes browsing for a meal. They're considered 'browsers' as they eat leaves, rather than grazing on grasses.</p>
<p>Sunlight slices through forests beneath the Odle peaks.</p>
<p>Mother and pup sea lions (lobos marinos) rest on a rocky outcrop in the Beagle Channel, some kilometres offshore from Ushuaia.</p>
