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

<p>Looking down a street toward Munich's Frauenkirche.</p>
<p>Plaques expressing gratitude to Archbishop Oscar Romero fill a low wall outside the chapel where he was murdered. Renowned for his embrace of the poor, and an outspoken critic of the Salvadoran government and widespread human rights abuses in his country, Romero was shot and killed by right-wing death squads while conducting mass on 24 March 1980. <br /></p>
