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


<p>A view of St. Kevin's Church at the monastic centre of Glendalough. The church dates from the 12th Century.</p>

<p>A bustling market in a Guangzhou alley.</p>
<p>A trio of taxi drivers chat while waiting for a fare.</p>
<p>An outline commemorating the Argentine journalist José Luis Cabezas, who was kidnapped and murdered in 1997 while investigating a gangster with links to the country's then-president, Carlos Menem. <br /></p><p>Cabezas' murder became an emblematic symbol of corruption at the top levels of government, and the popular slogan 'Don't forget Cabezas' an expression of the public's dismay at official impunity.</p>
<p>A moment in Manhattan.<br /></p>
<p>Buildings refracted through droplets of condensation in a window create a kaleidoscope.</p>
<p>Barberries provide a burst of colour in the winter. At least, I think they're barberries (I didn't do a taste test).<br /></p>
