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

<p>Better known for its soaring skyline and manic lifestyle, Hong Kong also retains aspects of its pre-colonial Chinese tradition, particularly in the New Territories connected to the mainland. This courtyard home called Tai Fu Tai dates from 1865, not long after the British had seized Hong Kong Island but before they leased the New Territories from China. It is an outstanding example of 19th Century Chinese architecture. <br /></p>
<p>The warm and well-worn interior of the Spiegelsaal at Clärchens Ballhaus, a beloved venue in Berlin.</p>
