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 of the fast-changing rainy season weather, somewhere in the Timorese central highlands.</p>
<p>The stairwell as seen from the courtyard of this modest hotel in San Telmo. It was my temporary home when I moved to Buenos Aires in 1997 and started my search for a flat. I love this picture.</p>
<p>Fishermen sell their catch near the port in Sozopol, Bulgaria.</p>
<p>A trio of penguins decline a seagull's attempt to join their conversation. Harsh.</p>
<p>A view down Whampoa Street in the Hung Hom district of Hong Kong. <br /></p> <p>Along the left side of the street there was once a relaxed little restaurant called El Merry where friends and I enjoyed the odd meal.<br /></p>
<p>Golden hour and some dirty plate glass windows make for a dramatic train platform.<br /></p>
<p>A statue with a slight smirk at the Temple of the Dawn, Bangkok.</p>
<p>Zoila stands in the middle of her kitchen, which doubles as a bakery in central Havana.<br /></p>
