This website illuminates my life and adventures, focusing on five areas, Adventure, Love, Art & Music, Economy and Philosophy. To these five areas, I have purposefully dedicated my life. This notion emanated from my belief that the human experience is driven by five innate momentums: physical, sexual, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. So, I desired to study, experience and understand these subjects, with the objective to understand not only the world around me, but to understand myself as well. Thus, these five areas of study match my innate momentums: adventure-physical, love-sexual , art & music-emotional, economy-intellectual, and philosophy-spiritual. This quest has led me to over 2300 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to 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 with me to see the world as I see it, if you will be so kind. Join me in re-examining our world and our selves, to contemplate how we can move to make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

St. Kitts, Bobby Daley, 2000 - While circling the beautiful island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean, we met an old Rastafarian. I wrote, "Continuing on to the north, we attempted to get close to the mountain on a track. There we met Bobby Daley, a chattery old Rasta with white and blonde dreadlocks. The was one of the most amiable people I ever met. We shook hands, and I felt his warmth. He didn't want me to take a photo, because he said he couldn't see it. But I said he could see it in my video, so I shot a digital video."
Papua New Guinea, Frieda River, The New SS Pukpuk, 1983 - This is the appearance of the raft when we first had it built in Ok Esai. Sam, the man who built it, helped me bring it downriver to Frieda Strip, and then he and his son walked back.

Tibet, Everest, North Ridge Route, Camp 3, Showing Second Step, Summit Pyramid, 8200m, 1995 -
This photograph is taken from 8200 meters (26,800 feet) high on Mount Everest at the site of Camp 3 on the North Ridge route, adjacent to the North Face. The summit pyramid of Everest is shown at the right hand side of the photograph, about 2000 feet above. About two-thirds of the way across the photograph from the left to right is a bump on the ridge. This is the famous "Second Step." I arrived at Camp 3 May 23, 1995 without the use of oxygen. There, Lhakpa Gelu, Tsering Dorje and I slept and departed at midnight for the summit, reaching it in 9 hours. One of the tents is visible at the far left of the photograph. The rope holding the tent down runs across the foreground of the photograph from right to left.
