This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Madagascar, Civet, 2003 - On January 24, 2003, I wrote, "We walked to the place where they hold the nocturnal lemur guided tour. A civit about two feet long came of the bush cover. She posed for me as if she was a model. Perfect."
Singapore, Singapore, Marina Sands Hotel
Greenland, Warming Island, off coast of Liverpool Land, Northern Lights Over Pinnacles, 2006 - The Northern Lights as shown in this photograph are accentuated by the time exposure. In reality, they are not so bright, but incredible nonetheless. Try to see them before you die!
Papua New Guinea, Red Wigman, 1983 - When we arrived in Koroba, I was delighted to see that the villagers wore their wigs as part of their everyday dress. My good fortune had it that they were also more than willing to be photographed, unlike the men at the market in Tari. This man, whom I call the Red Wigman, was one of the first wigmen I ever photographed.
