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


<p>Timor-Leste's rainy season delivers another dramatic sky out of the blue, this time at Jesus Backside Beach – so named for being behind the large statue of Christ that overlooks Dili's seafront. These clouds emerged suddenly and with tremendous rain moments later, before dissipating just as quickly as they'd arrived.</p>
<p>A meta call to arms in Athens' Exarcheia district, referencing <em>La Marseillaise</em> via Serge Gainsbourg.</p>
<p>A streetlight works wonders on an old wall.</p>
<p>Tents at the Theresienwiese – home to Munich's Oktoberfest – reflected in a puddle on a still morning.<br /></p>
<p>Small details in woodlands near Buckow, Germany.</p>
<p>The buzz of Calle Florida, in central Buenos Aires, Argentina.</p>
<p>'Smoke before life smokes you'. A healthy dose of nihilism on an electric box.</p>
<p>A figure crosses the Ponte de la Balote by night.<br /></p>
