This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Bellingshausen, King George Island, Jeff Shea in Station Interior, 2001 - Bellingshausen is the Russian Base on King George Island (Isla Rey Jorge) in the South Shetland Island group off the coast of Antarctica. Bellingshausen holds the special distinction of being one of the Travelers Century Club's designated countries, even though it is only comprised of a few buildings. I stopped by for a cup of tea on my first visit to King George Island.

Central African Republic, Portrait Of Pygmy Girl, 2000 - One day during our stay in Bayanga, I went to the nearby pygmy villages and asked the young women to dress up in their traditional attire so that I could photograph them with my 8x10 inch camera. We put out the word and said we would come back. When we picked them up, we managed to get eight girls into the Land Rover with two of us and the driver, eleven people in all. I took this photograph with a 35mm. This girl had a strikingly beautiful face.
