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.

Puerto Rico, Goat In Car, 2006 - This car was rolling down the freeway with the goat in the back. I took the photo out of the window of the car I was in.
Egypt, Luxor Statue, 1984 - Luxor, Egypt constitutes one of the most fantastic temple complexes in the world not only because of the beauty of the craftsmanship but also because of the sheer size of the works or art, such as is exhibited in this statue. Deep religious meaning permeates the art of ancient Egypt.
Romania, Young Man In Doorway, 1997 - I walked across much of Transylvania. It was somewhat like walking into the past. The people lived simply. The land was rolling and beautiful. I traveled with a light pack, about 15 pounds, which included a Rolleiflex that I'd bought in Munich. The people all over the countryside were cooperative with my efforts to photograph them.
