PHOTOS

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


<p>A cyclist passes a stationary cycle. </p>
<p>A cook works the kitchen as an evening wears on.</p>
<p>The stairwell as seen from the courtyard of this modest hotel in San Telmo. It was my temporary home when I moved to Buenos Aires in 1997 and started my search for a flat. I love this picture.</p>
<p>An evocative underpass in Dortmund.</p>
<p>An elephant and her calf take water. Elephants can drink over 200 litres in one session – proving their superiority to humans, if you ask me.</p>
<p>A rainy day in Istanbul, shot through the iron-grille windows from Pandeli, a classic restaurant tucked away in the 17th Century Mısır Çarşısı covered market.</p>
<p>Graves interweave within the constraining walls of Marrakech's Miaara, a Jewish cemetery in the Mellah district (once the Jewish quarter, when the local population was larger).</p>
<p>The momentarily forlorn faces of shoppers at a market in Rio de Janeiro.<br /></p>
