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.

PH, Agusan Del Norte Province, Field Worker, 2008, IMG_1295r1 - Any job is dignified by the spirit of the person doing it. Here, a field worker's broad smile can cheer us through this image sent electronically through the ether, long after the smile itself is gone. Isn't the world wonderful in its expanse and possibilities?
USA, Richmond Bridge, 2003 - I took this photograph from the balcony of my home in Richmond, looking towards San Rafael.
