WELCOME

Thank you for visiting. This website features my photography and writing. Learn a bit more about me.

PHOTOS

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


<p>A female Steenbok looks up from browsing for tasty grass. Steenboks are a small species of antelope. </p>
<p>Cliffs and sea stacks on the northwest coast of Suðuroy.</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>A miniature forest grows in a tree stump that resembles the jutting peaks of the Dolomites, where this photo was taken.<br /></p>
<p>A spiral staircase in Vágur.</p>
<p>Scenery along a trail toward Crusc and other peaks in the Dolomites.</p>
<p>Berlin's Olympic Stadium was roofless when it hosted the 1936 Games, but during renovations in 2004 a seemingly floating roof was added to cover all 74,475 seats in the stadium (which, despite its age, still has Germany's highest all-seater capacity). The roof conceals clever lighting that creates no discernible shadows on the pitch.</p>
<p>A Poblana passes an old truck and graffiti promoting the centre-left PRD party.</p>
