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.

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.
Komodo, Dragon Face On, 2005 - To take this photograph I had to lay on the ground in front of the Komodo Dragon. Though using a telephoto lens, it was still a bit scary. They have been known to eat humans.
Zambia, Victoria Falls B&W, 2000 - Of all the great falls, Angel, Igua?u, Niagara, etc., I found Victoria Falls to be the most visually spectacular.
Vietnam, Quang Nam Prov, Carved Boxes -
San Blas, Woman With Earrings, 2000 - One of the features of the San Blas costume were gold earrings. The ones shown in this photograph are enormous. I found photographing them challenging. The objective was to show them without having the photograph appear travelogish.
