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.

Iran, Posters of Martyrs, 1984 - In 1984, Iran was at war with Iraq. This photograph shows posters of young men who had lost their lives at the war front. They are being hailed as martyrs. This type of display was common throughout parts of Iran at that time.
Papua New Guinea, Clear Water, 1983 - This photograph shows the remarkable cleanliness of the streams in the forests of New Guinea. Though I drank freely from the steams at virtually every opportunity, I never got sick from doing so.
