This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 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.

South Georgia, Fortuna Bay, Seal Eats Microphone, 2006 - I put down my video camera and let it film while I took still shots with my 35mm digital camera. I noticed the seal was trying to eat my microphone. Later, I noticed that the scene was visible in the screen of the video, all captured in the photograph.

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.
