PHOTOS

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


<p>Two soldiers on sentry duty in Tame, Arauca. Both men were part of Colombia's 'Soldados de mi pueblo' initiative, which inducted locally born men into military service in their own communities in an attempt to bolster security. </p>
<p>'From the forests we rise like trees. We are river, sun, and wind. Freedom for the Mapuche political prisoners'. A pointed stencil in Santiago.</p>
<p>A razpachin (coca plucker) holds handfuls of the innocuous leaves that, after several steps of processing, can become cocaine.</p>
<p>Historic homes in Quebec City.</p>
<p>Dating from 2001 (but seemingly from the space age), the Tempodrom is an event space and spa in central Berlin. The building's design evokes the tent structures that originally housed the venue when it began in the 1980s.<br /></p>
<p>A boat navigates the Funningsfjørður, a deep fjord that cuts through the island of Eysturoy.</p>
<p>Interesting arches over a passageway in central Rome.<br /></p>
<p>A clearing in a forest in Argentina's far south.<br /></p>
