Thanks for visiting. This website features my photography, writing, and a bit about me.

PHOTOS

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


<p>'Your car pollutes my world'. A clear message on a Buenos Aires bench.</p>
<p>A solitary figure headed somewhere on a cold night.</p>
<p>Brightly painted bands run along the balconies of a building on Rua do Brandão. A typically tight Macanese street squeezes in alongside. </p>
<p>A view over the village of Fámjin. The structure in the foreground, slowly being reclaimed by the grass, is a stone sheep shelter.</p>
<p>Fields of varying patterns (and crop circles?!) near Stonehenge. </p>
<p>A woman turns her back on the visitors clogging the steps of Macao's landmark Igreja de São Paulo ruins and the skyline of casino towers to capture her own take on the densely populated city.</p>
<p>An impeccably clean (how?!) taxi topped rather improbably by a <em>canang sari</em>. These simple baskets made of woven leaves are a ubiquitous daily offering made by Balinese Hindus.<br /></p>
<p>A patisserie takes pride of place on a Parisian corner.</p>
