This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Seram, Water Duck, 2006 - When I asked my guides what this bird was called, they said, "Bebek Air." This means Water Duck. In order to get this photograph with a 500mm lens, I had to stalk this duck by approaching it five paces at a time, making sure that I did not move side ways. This was taken on a river near Seti Iluana in the interior of Seram.

Seram, Butterfly, 2006 - When I went to Seram in September 2006 to find the Little People, I took photographs of everything that I found interesting. In addition to being an avid lover of beauty and nature, I also did so because there are almost no photographs from Seram on the web - I could find almost nothing. This website is probably the best place to see visual information from this interesting island in eastern Indonesia.
