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.

Madagascar, Lemur Close Up, 2003 - In one day of lemur camera-hunting at Ranomafana, we were not dissappointed. I mother and her young seemed just as curious about us as we were about them. When I took this photograph, she was a mere four feet away.

Azerbaijan, Baki Prov, Map Relief Azerbaijan - Azerbaijan was a complete surprise to me. I had once gone there for a short visit. But when I went there to photograph around the country, I was in for a treat, both visual and culinary. This map shows the mountains. The Caucasus Mountains pervade many of the provinces, offering visual delight. The food was fantastic, hearty, pastas, lamb stew, yogurts, fish.
