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.

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.
Saipan, Waterhole, 2002 - This was a fantastic water hole in Saipan. It opened up to the sea by an underwater tunnel.
