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.

Falkland Islands, Black-browed Albatross Feeding Young, Mouth Open, 2006 - This photograph was taken on New Island, a seldom visited outlying island in the Falkland group. The young bird on the right cannot yet fly and depends on the parent to feed it from the sea.

Ecuador, Jeff Shea And Santo Domingo De Los Colorados Indians, 1979 - The Indians of Santo Domingo De Los Colorados had interesting customs, as is evidenced by the man's hair on the left. The Indians come to market in Otavalo, 129 km from Quito. This photograph was taken of me with the first camera I ever traveled with, a second-hand Kodak instamatic using 110 film. Twenty-seven years later, I scanned it and had it touched up.

Nepal, Jeff Shea on the Summit of Island Peak, 1983 - In this photograph I revel in the accomplishment of reaching 20,000 feet for the first time. I celebrated by smoking a joint of ganja (marijuana). The truly fantastic thing here is the vast range of peaks behind me.
