PHOTOS

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


<p>A sunrise view across the fjord looking toward the island of Eysturoy.</p>
<p>A street scene in the former colonial core of Jakarta, known as Batavia under the Dutch.</p>
<p>Contrasting styles at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a Buddhist temple complex in Kowloon. <br /></p>
<p>A view over the village of Fámjin. The structure in the foreground, slowly being reclaimed by the grass, is a stone sheep shelter.</p>
<p>New high-rises crowd a more traditional Toronto building at the corner of Queen and Church streets.</p>
<p>A pleasing clash of styles at the transition between Chinatown and the Central business district. Amoy Street is full of Singapore's characteristic shophouses, which typically combine commercial activities (shops, restaurants) on the ground floor with residences above.</p>
<p>Guitarists Joel Paterson (at right) and Andy Brown with drummer Alex Hall performing at Chicago's legendary Green Mill. <br /></p> <p>They play a mix of jazz, blues, and pedal-steel guitar pieces just about every Monday night and are well worth catching if you're in town.<br /></p>
<p>Police forces watch over protests in Plaza de Mayo, with a water cannon at the ready. Demonstrators from the northern province of Corrientes had come to the centre of Argentine political power to protest corruption and deteriorating conditions. </p>
