PHOTOS

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


<p>Strollers and cyclists pass a dilapidated building in a Marrakech side street.</p>
<p>Members of the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo carry a banner displaying portraits of their relatives disappeared by Argentina's military junta of 1976-1983. <br /></p> <p>Mothers, grandmothers, and other relatives began these marches during the dictatorship, gathering each Thursday at the Plaza de Mayo to demand accountability and justice for their missing loved ones. Their movement adopted the name of the square. <br /></p> <p>This photo was taken in 1999, 22 years after they had commenced their rallies. They continue marching to this day.</p>

<p>A hut in the mountains en route to Ramelau, with the dramatic weather of the rainy season appearing again!</p>
<p>A rhinoceros rests by a bush. Often poached for their horns, most species of rhinoceros are considered critically endangered. I believe this one to be a Southern white rhinoceros, the most common species – but even its numbers have dwindled to some 17,000 individuals. </p>
