PHOTOS

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


<p>A detail of the golden cladding and angular roofline of the Kammermusiksaal (chamber music hall) at the Philharmonie complex in Berlin.</p>
<p>An oft-painted wall in Rabat resembles a map of some forgotten territory.<br /></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>Weathered graves in Timor-Leste's central highlands.</p>
<p>A man lost in his thoughts on a tram in central Sofia.</p>
<p>There was something pleasing about this pub ceiling in London.<br /></p>
<p>A night at a cosy bar in the Marais. <br /></p> <p>One of my favourite photos (of mine).</p>
<p>The fronds of a palm prepare to open.</p>
