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 street in San Telmo wakes up with a bit of a hangover.</p>
<p>Gentle peaks reflect in a reedy lake.<br /></p>
<p>Small details in woodlands near Buckow, Germany.</p>
<p>A hut in the mountains en route to Ramelau, with the dramatic weather of the rainy season appearing again!</p>
<p>A waterfall feeding the Wackbach, a mountain stream on the Seeberg in the Bavarian Alps.</p>
<p>An elegant flat with improbably narrow top floors at the corner of Juncal and Montevideo. </p>
<p>A detail of the crumbling masonry that once enabled the Great Wall to traverse the terrain of imperial China's border. I understand these sections have been restored since this photograph was taken.<br /></p>
<p>A narrow street in the Barri Gòtic, the oldest quarter of Barcelona. Shot in the mid 1990s, when the post-Olympic boom was already changing the Catalan city, this photo shows a bygone era. You'd be hard-pressed to find a street in the Barri Gòtic that looks anything like this now.<br /></p>
