<p>A pair of hikers heading toward the Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel peak, visible during a brief clearing in the mists and clouds that were whipping around up there. </p>

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 view shot from a prized window seat in a café along Buenos Aires' Avenida Corrientes. Despite the blustery weather, the avenue is still animated. Across the street is Café La Paz, something of an institution (still operating, but since remodeled away from this 90s po-mo look).</p>
<p>Lichen slowly covering a stone statue at the Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, a major temple on Bali.</p>
<p>Umm, right.<br /></p>
<p>A limestone wall bakes in the Adriatic sun of Corfu.</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>An old house perches on an even older wall.</p>
<p>Mist engulfs the church of Santa Maria della Pietà, with the peak of Gran Sasso in the distance.</p>
<p>A view up one of Buenos Aires' main boulevards, Avenida Callao.</p>
