PHOTOS

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


<p>A beautiful elephant in the grass of the bushveld. Elephants use dirt and mud as a form of insect repellent and sunscreen.</p>
<p>An impressive amount of sass from two minimalist mannequins.</p>
<p>A dog determined to make up ground on the party ahead.</p>
<p>A view out into the Venice lagoon on a winter day.<br /></p>
<p>A beautiful view of Guanajuato, from a rather perfectly placed bar, El Gallo Pitagórico. <br /></p><p>I'm still proud of this photo from my early days shooting a manual SLR – nailing the exposure with film in this sort of light was much trickier than with modern digital cameras.</p>
<p>Passenger, pigeons, and historic photos at a Berlin station.<br /></p>
<p>Night and day in transition on an icy Chicago morning.<br /></p>
<p>A graffito near the end of one of the innumerable Venetian alleys curtailed by a canal.</p>
