PHOTOS

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


<p>A desolate but peaceful landscape in central Iowa, on one of those bitingly cold but clear days in the US Midwest.<br /></p>
<p>Two well-armed national police officers patrol the streets of Tame, passing sun-beaten election murals for the then-mayor.</p>
<p>Muscovites with places to be.</p>
<p>A dormant scoreboard by Trinity College Dublin's rugby pitch. Sadly no action that day.</p>
<p>The undulating facade of Brandenburg Technical University's hi-tech IKMZ media library, designed by Herzog & de Meuron.</p>
<p>The remnants of a group's good night out at La Nacional, a Spanish social club in New York.<br /></p>
<p>A cold spell froze this flower before it could unfurl.</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>
