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.

Zambia, Victoria Falls, 2000 - Victoria Falls from the Zambian side was my favorite of all the great waterfalls. I desaturated this color photograph to make a black and white image. A flowing feeling was achieved with a long shutter speed.

Hawaii, Sugar Bear, 1982 - I was a crew member on the Sugar Bear, a 43-foot ketch. Setting out from Point San Pablo Yacht Club in Richmond, California through San Francisco's Golden Gate, we sailed to Hawaii, to Kiribati, then on to Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. We continued to Rabaul, East New Britain, Papua New Guinea, where I got off and explored Papua New Guinea for six months.
