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>An arch of stars stretches across the heavens in a dark sky area in Germany.<br /></p>
<p>The rainforest canopy towers not all that far from Kuala Lumpur's skyscrapers.</p>
<p>The terraced Chinese Permanent Cemetery hugs the hillsides behind the high-rise towers of Aberdeen, almost forming an ampitheatre where the ancestors can watch over their descendants. </p>
<p>An idyllic cabin in the hills above Árnafjørður. </p>
<p>A contemplative fisherman in the heart of Zlatá Praha.</p>
<p>A cluster of makeshift homes on the outskirts of San Salvador. Such homes represent years of effort by their inhabitants, but often these neighbourhoods lack essential services like plumbing, refuse collection, and official recognition of the residents' title to their land. These districts are peripheries not only in the geographical sense, but also in terms of political and economic attention.</p>
<p>Shot from beneath, raindrops ping the surface of the sea just off the sacred island of Jaco.</p>
<p>A woman washing clothes on a winter morning in Langa. </p>
