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.

Greenland, North Greenland ,Team On Way To Stray Dog West, 2007 - The date is July 12, 2007. Dennis Schmitt's team ventures out onto the sea ice just off the northernmost coast in the world, Cape Morris Jessup, in far northern Greenland. I stay back. I am the team photographer. That day we set foot on the "new northernmost point of land in the world", which we dub "Stray Dog West." This photograph appeared in Esquire in October 2007 (IMG_4196r2)
