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

<p>There was something pleasing about this pub ceiling in London.<br /></p>

<p>'Your car pollutes my world'. A clear message on a Buenos Aires bench.</p>

<p>Tiles in Marrakech form a perfectly imperfect herringbone pattern.</p>
<p>A trio of penguins decline a seagull's attempt to join their conversation. Harsh.</p>
