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>Dating from 2001 (but seemingly from the space age), the Tempodrom is an event space and spa in central Berlin. The building's design evokes the tent structures that originally housed the venue when it began in the 1980s.<br /></p>
<p>Autumn leaves resemble a fireworks display.</p>
<p>A characterful old house in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund.</p>
<p>A view over Setenil de las Bodegas, one of Andalusia's white hill towns. <br /></p>
<p>A shutter on a balcony in Buenos Aires.</p>
<p>Shot from beneath, raindrops ping the surface of the sea just off the sacred island of Jaco.</p>
<p>The subway and some skyline reflect in the mirrored windows of new office blocks in Queensboro Plaza.</p>
<p>If I'm not mistaken, this is elephant is fairly old. The sunken temples are one sign it's lived quite a few decades, as is its slightly weathered appearance. (Please let me know if you can tell me more about this one's age and gender!)<br /></p>
