PHOTOS

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


<p>A winter afternoon at the corner of Lavalle and Suipacha, entering the Microcentro.<br /></p>
<p>A baby bathes in a plastic bucket. The child's family had been displaced by flooding and they were living in makeshift shelters on a plaza near the national congress.</p>
<p>Details of a doorway on Calle del Forno, one of Venice's numerous alleys.</p>
<p>A dog determined to make up ground on the party ahead.</p>
<p>Portrait of Aynur.</p>
<p>A gang of miniature Beethovens wait to be placed in formation by a worker. Part of Bonn's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of its famous son's birth, the Beethoven statues were later put up for 'adoption'. I like mine very much. </p>
<p>A dormant scoreboard by Trinity College Dublin's rugby pitch. Sadly no action that day.</p>
<p>Early morning fog on Papillensee, a small lake.</p>
