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.

Indonesia, Bali, Dancer Twirls Whisk, 2005 - Who says that magic does not exist? The world of color and light is certainly magic. The only thing that separates us from it is our concept of time and our instruments to see it. In this time exposure, reality takes on a different, and beautiful, perspective.

Solomon Islands, Our Departure From Ngarringnasuru, 1982 - Fred Billy Akwafaasie took us up the coast in a motorized canoe. We needed to get to the road in the northeast of Malaita. From there we took a truck across the island and a local boat to Honiara. Villagers came to see us off. There were no roads to Sinalagu Bay in 1982.

Algeria, In Beroutane, 1988 - This rock figure, called In-Beroutane, or "The Elephant", is situated in Algeria, more or less in the middle of the Sahara desert. I took this photograph while traveling across the Sahara in the back of a date truck. I found the evidence of such geologic history there 'intriguing'.
