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>The buzz of Calle Florida, in central Buenos Aires, Argentina.</p>
<p>Guitarists Joel Paterson (at right) and Andy Brown with drummer Alex Hall performing at Chicago's legendary Green Mill. <br /></p> <p>They play a mix of jazz, blues, and pedal-steel guitar pieces just about every Monday night and are well worth catching if you're in town.<br /></p>
<p>Morning breaks over the ruins of the mountaintop fortress at Calascio.</p>
<p>Greenhouses form an abstract pattern in a valley more than a stone's throw away.</p>
<p>A crowded shopping street in Macao.</p>
<p>A giraffe and a zebra share a moment.</p>
<p>A beautiful view of Guanajuato, from a rather perfectly placed bar, El Gallo Pitagórico. <br /></p><p>I'm still proud of this photo from my early days shooting a manual SLR – nailing the exposure with film in this sort of light was much trickier than with modern digital cameras.</p>
<p>Saturday strollers along the waterfront pass through light and shadows.</p>
