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 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>Potential spoiler for that one person who doesn't know the plot point.</p>
<p>'Smoke before life smokes you'. A healthy dose of nihilism on an electric box.</p>
<p>Red berries and black spikes outside a house near Highgate Cemetery, London.</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 woman selling dried fish in San Salvador's central market.</p>
<p>A bustling street in Rabat. </p>
<p>Two jackals conversing.<br /></p>
