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.

Norway, Spitsbergen, Longyearbyen, 2000 - This is the settlement of Longyearbyen on the island of Spitsbergen (Svalbard) off the far north coast of Norway. Spitsbergen is home to an immense amount of wildlife. I took this picture from the plateau above the village. I followed the local advice, which was to carry a gun, in the event of polar bears. A woman had been killed there by one some years earlier.

Peru, Gary Cappa In Back Of Wool Truck En Route To Arequipa, 1979 - In 1979, my buddy Gary Cappa and I set off for a six month adventure through Central and South America overland. Here Cappa sits in the back of a truck full of bales of wool, where we rode for over a day down the coast of Peru towards Arequipa. This photo was taken on little 110 film.
