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.

Greenland, Warming Island, Broken Channel, 2006 - This photograph - taken from a helicopter - shows the broken glacier and the new channel that has created Warming Island. This shot was taken exactly one year to the day following the discovery of the island by Dennis Schmitt of Berkeley, California. I was part of a five man expedition that Dennis led to survey the island in the late summer of 2006. An article in the New York Times on Jan 16, 2007 made Warming Island the poster child of Global Warming. This photograph first appeared in that article on the front page of the Science Section. 
Tanzania, Cheetahs with Kill (far view), 1984 - This photograph was taken in Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. These two cheetahs had just killed a wildebeeste. They had had their fill and sat panting, unable to eat more.
