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

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


<p>A glamorous old café bustles by night.</p>
<p>Timor-Leste's rainy season delivers another dramatic sky out of the blue, this time at Jesus Backside Beach – so named for being behind the large statue of Christ that overlooks Dili's seafront. These clouds emerged suddenly and with tremendous rain moments later, before dissipating just as quickly as they'd arrived.</p>
<p>A view of St. Kevin's Church at the monastic centre of Glendalough. The church dates from the 12th Century.</p>
<p>Posters in Montevideo denounce current military figures for their role in the country's 1973-1985 military dictatorship: <em>These are torturers. Our memory won't forget, our dignity won't forgive.</em></p>
<p>Berlin's Olympic Stadium was roofless when it hosted the 1936 Games, but during renovations in 2004 a seemingly floating roof was added to cover all 74,475 seats in the stadium (which, despite its age, still has Germany's highest all-seater capacity). The roof conceals clever lighting that creates no discernible shadows on the pitch.</p>
<p>A view over misty hills, seen from a stretch of the Great Wall.</p>
<p>A beautiful winter day on the beach, complemented by wispy clouds</p>
<p>Weathered shutters and walls at Forte São Sebastião, São Tomé.</p>
