PHOTOS

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


<p>A night scene in Bressanone / Brixen.</p>
<p>Buildings refracted through droplets of condensation in a window create a kaleidoscope.</p>
<p>A narrow street in the Barri Gòtic, the oldest quarter of Barcelona. Shot in the mid 1990s, when the post-Olympic boom was already changing the Catalan city, this photo shows a bygone era. You'd be hard-pressed to find a street in the Barri Gòtic that looks anything like this now.<br /></p>
<p>A busy morning in Rabat.</p>
<p>A mock road sign comments on U.S. gun culture.</p>
<p>Snowstorm in Chicago<br /></p>
<p>An explosion of colour in the autumn leaves.</p>
<p>A characterful old house in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund.</p>
