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.

PH, Lanao Del Sur Province, Shawled Girl, 2008, IMG_9081 - This shawled girl had beautiful lips. She didn't appear so serious when she laughed.
Cambodia, Kampot Prov, Harbor
San Blas, Portrait Of A Girl, 2000 - The San Blas Islands are off the east coast of Panama. This young woman was representative of the type of adornments that women uses. Note the nose ring through her septum. Across the bottom part of her breasts, she wears a mola. I have a theory about the molas. I believe that in ancient times, the molas were painted on bare breasts. I long to either find such women living naturally, or to recreate the scene in a photograph.
Slovenia, Scrap Metal, 2006 - There was a pile of scrap metal on the side of the rail tracks. It looked rather picturesque to me.
Turkey, Mardin Prov, Mountain Cultivation
Papua New Guinea, Long Houses, Lake Kutubu, 1983 - In a 'primitive' village, a child has the equivalent of fifty aunts and uncles. Although it was hard to have privacy, still, a person seldom felt alone. This village is near Lake Kutubu, New Guinea Highlands.
