PHOTOS

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


<p>A scene on Venice's Grand Canal.<br /></p>
<p>'Your car pollutes my world'. A clear message on a Buenos Aires bench.</p>
<p>A boat navigates the Funningsfjørður, a deep fjord that cuts through the island of Eysturoy.</p>
<p>'They flee the country, leaving 140 families in the street and 1300 customers with problems.' Popular outrage at a foreign bank's decision to pull out of Uruguay. The small flyers read 'Eurobanco destabilises the country' and 'Eurobanco fires 140 workers'.</p>
<p>Undeniably eye-catching, the waterfront duo of the ArtScience Museum (right) and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel also scream 'prestige project', those architectural undertakings aimed at putting a city (back) on the map. The hotel's three columns contain the rooms, and support a cantilevered terrace featuring an infinity pool looking out over the rest of Singapore's skyline.</p>
<p>Shoppers at a sprawling market in Dili, shortly after a rainstorm.</p>
<p>A view of the fast-changing rainy season weather, somewhere in the Timorese central highlands.</p>
<p>A bustling street in Rabat. </p>
