PHOTOS

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


<p>A view of Jakarta's very modern Istiqlal Mosque, one of the largest in the world. It dates from the late 1970s and its style is very much of its era.</p>
<p>An arch of stars stretches across the heavens in a dark sky area in Germany.<br /></p>
<p>Saturday strollers along the waterfront pass through light and shadows.</p>
<p>Sparse traffic on Avenida Santa Fe, shot from nine storeys above.<br /></p>
<p>A small beach on Ilhabela, a mountainous island not so distant – and yet a world away – from the urban expanse of São Paulo.</p>
<p>'In democracy and dictatorship, the state tortures you.' A tag capturing a certain Argentine nihilism.</p>
<p>A clearing in a forest in Argentina's far south.<br /></p>
<p>A stark warning on a wall in Santiago: 'If the government is capitalist, we will be ungovernable'.</p>
