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.

Java, Madura Girl, circa 1994 - I traveled with my 8x10 to Surabaya. Madura Island was just off the coast of Java, so I took a ferry and a then a car around the island. There was a girl's school. Many young girls poked their heads out of this window or peered through screens, curious about me and my camera. This one young woman posed for me. The inscription on the window is Arabic for Allah.
