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>Farm fields in subdued light early on a Christmas morning.</p>
<p>A view over the district of Lyulin, shot through the warped glass of a window.</p>
<p>Children playing along Dili's waterfront after the daily rainstorm.</p>
<p>Edgar Fonceca's concrete pyramidal cathedral was part of a wave of modernism in Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s (including a whole new capital city built on the ideals, Brasilia). In the foreground corner you can see a bit of another modernist stunner, the EDISE headquarters for Petrobras.</p>
<p>A view over the village of Fámjin. The structure in the foreground, slowly being reclaimed by the grass, is a stone sheep shelter.</p>
<p>A quiet afternoon at the market in the highland town of Ossu.<br /></p>
<p>The rustic structure features a functional vaulted roof covering the main trading area (useful given the torrential rainfall in the country) with a facade that mixes shapes from vernacular local architecture with a tinge of art deco, fashionable with the then-colonial ruler.</p>
<p>A paraglider over the Langkofel (Sassolungo) massif in the Dolomites. <br /></p>
<p>Shot with Pentax 645N, 645 FA 80-160, Cinestill 800.<br /></p>
<p>Colombian national police round up unfamiliar faces in Tame, Arauca.</p>
