PHOTOS

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


<p>A street scene in São Tomé's compact city centre.</p>
<p>A view shot from a prized window seat in a café along Buenos Aires' Avenida Corrientes. Despite the blustery weather, the avenue is still animated. Across the street is Café La Paz, something of an institution (still operating, but since remodeled away from this 90s po-mo look).</p>
<p>Portrait of Sarah</p>
<p>A gondola slices through the waters of the Rio di San Salvador – notice how much of the slender hull is above water.</p>
<p>A crowded shopping street in Macao.</p>
<p>'They flee the country, leaving 140 families in the street and 1300 customers with problems.' Popular outrage at a foreign bank's decision to pull out of Uruguay. The small flyers read 'Eurobanco destabilises the country' and 'Eurobanco fires 140 workers'.</p>
<p>The transition from farm fields to high-rise blocks is sudden on some approaches to Sofia.</p>
<p>A wedge of a building makes for an interesting corner in Cork.</p>
