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.

South Georgia, Gold Harbor, Water Droplets On Penguin Wing, 2006 - I took this photograph about twenty feet away from a King Penguin. I noticed water droplets on its wing and took an image of only the wing itself. At the moment I took the photograph, I felt as if time had frozen. The penguin seemed suddenly motionless, as was my camera. Later, when I blew up the photograph, I noticed that the clarity was so fine that I could even see the light reflected off of the water droplets.

Komodo, Dragon Face On, 2005 - To take this photograph I had to lay on the ground in front of the Komodo Dragon. Though using a telephoto lens, it was still a bit scary. They have been known to eat humans.
