PHOTOS

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


<p>Offering shade and casting a marvelous transfused light, these palms bring additional calm to Bali's special vibe. Botany fans, is this <em>Cyrtostachys renda</em>?</p>
<p>A view of the high-rise district of Guangzhou (Canton), China's main southern city.</p>
<p>'Memory' and 'vote blank' – two slogans summarising popular exasperation with the post-dictatorship Argentine political landscape. <br /></p>
<p>A man bails out his boat after a sudden rain shower.</p>
<p>A woman and her dog take in the dramatic waters while crossing the Maria Kristina zubia (bridge) in Donostia. The Urumea river flows into the Bay of Biscay just beyond those buildings, and on this winter day winds off the Atlantic were driving waves well upstream. <br /></p>
<p>This zebra foal has just about mastered standing on its own four feet. A nearby wildebeest seems unmoved by the achievement.</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>Cliffs and sea stacks on the northwest coast of Suðuroy.</p>
