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 Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel peak from a bit down-valley. </p>
<p>A detail of the crumbling masonry that once enabled the Great Wall to traverse the terrain of imperial China's border. I understand these sections have been restored since this photograph was taken.<br /></p>
<p>The sea goes dark at dusk.</p>
<p>A couple cut through a glistening Marienplatz, Munich.</p>
<p>A solitary figure headed somewhere on a cold night.</p>
<p>Reflected light adds to the contrast on Walker Street, lower Manhattan.<br /></p>
<p>Passengers wait on the perfectly parallel platforms of Bruxelles-Nord station.</p>
<p>Hong Kong has the world's best skyline (and as a former Chicagoan and New Yorker I can say that). By night, the city's standout skyscrapers illuminate in a choreography of colour while thousands of flats add a galaxy of twinkling lights. Fast moving weather patterns and the faint outline of the Peak further enhance the scene. Here's just some of that mesmerising vista of Central shot from Kowloon.</p>
