<p>A pair of hikers heading toward the Sas de Pütia / Peitlerkofel peak, visible during a brief clearing in the mists and clouds that were whipping around up there. </p>

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>The stairwell as seen from the courtyard of this modest hotel in San Telmo. It was my temporary home when I moved to Buenos Aires in 1997 and started my search for a flat. I love this picture.</p>
<p>A tree in the bushveld's immense space.</p>
<p>A graffito near the end of one of the innumerable Venetian alleys curtailed by a canal.</p>
<p>An almost monochromatic seascape.<br /></p>
<p>A somewhat unorthodox take on Toronto's tallest tower.<br /></p>
<p>An idyllic cabin in the hills above Árnafjørður. </p>
<p>A mobile worker in a modern space, or perhaps someone just relaxing.</p>
<p>An elephant and her calf take water. Elephants can drink over 200 litres in one session – proving their superiority to humans, if you ask me.</p>
