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>A boat beckons, a cottage calls... Many homes in the area come replete with a boathouse. </p>
<p>The spectacular Véu da Noiva (Bridal Veil) waterfall in the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park. The falls drop a dramatic 86 metres into a perfect pool...</p>
<p>One facade of the towering gothic cathedral in Salisbury, which dates back to 1220. Its spire, added later and peeking out in this picture, climbs to an incredible 123 metres — a veritable 16th Century skyscraper.</p>
<p>A person stops momentarily on a rainy morning along Bergen's waterfront.</p>
<p>A Parisian carries precious baguettes through the glassy La Défense district. </p>
<p>It's a Jewish custom to leave a stone on a tomb as a symbol of mourning and memory. Here, a solitary stone was left on the grave of someone who died too young.<br /></p>
<p>The vast Theresienwiese in Munich, sans Oktoberfest trimmings.</p>
<p>Sunbeams and a cloud inversion in Abruxzo</p>
