PHOTOS

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


<p>Two girls explore their flood-damaged former neighbourhood just behind the national congress on the banks of the Paraguay River. Their homes were flooded a few weeks before Christmas in 1997, forcing their already struggling families to relocate to makeshift residences in a public square.</p>
<p>A view over the district of Lyulin, shot through the warped glass of a window.</p>
<p>Rowers power through the waters of Köpenick.<br /></p>
<p>A German fan is slightly outnumbered by Argentine hinchas before their quarter-final match in the 2010 World Cup. The match ended 0-4 to the Germans.</p>
<p>A caiman (yacare) rests in the Pantanal wetlands of western Brazil. The menacing pose is actually a way for the caiman to regulate its body temperature, although this photographer must admit it is a touch intimidating to get this close. Shot from a canoe somewhere in the Pantanal wetlands.<br /></p>
<p>Morning mist hangs in the trees of the Val di Funes.<br /></p>
<p>Details of a doorway on Calle del Forno, one of Venice's numerous alleys.</p>
<p>A woman drawing a bow. Sculpture outside the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.<br /></p>
