PHOTOS

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


<p>Small details in woodlands near Buckow, Germany.</p>
<p>A formica (or similar synthetic) table run through with forms from nature. </p>
<p>Two well-armed national police officers patrol the streets of Tame, passing sun-beaten election murals for the then-mayor.</p>
<p>A hilltop fortress on a winter morning.<br /></p>
<p>A female Steenbok looks up from browsing for tasty grass. Steenboks are a small species of antelope. </p>
<p>A mobile worker in a modern space, or perhaps someone just relaxing.</p>
<p>An oft-painted wall in Rabat resembles a map of some forgotten territory.<br /></p>
<p>Hong Kong has the world's best skyline (and as a former Chicagoan and New Yorker I can say that). By night, the city's standout skyscrapers illuminate in a choreography of colour while thousands of flats add a galaxy of twinkling lights. Fast moving weather patterns and the faint outline of the Peak further enhance the scene. Here's just some of that mesmerising vista of Central shot from Kowloon.</p>
