If you wish to learn more about my image archive, see my photo stock list, organized by geographic region and subject matter. My photography CV also provides additional information concering my professional work; you may also wish to read my statement about how I approach my work. Like Sebastião Salgado, I consider myself a "visual storyteller," not an artist. (Note: you will need Adobe Acrobat to open these documents.)

In November 2006, I published highlights of my delightful and completely tourist-oriented trip to Italy, which I visited in October and November 2006. The Italians' appreciation of good food, simple pleasures, and their rich cultural heritage was positively contagious. Upon my first anniversary of having lived a full year in Anchorage, Alaska, I published my Alaska photo essays, in August 2005.

In April 2005, I published my photos and a short essay focussing on Egypt, which I visited in November and December 2004. In May 2004, I published photographs taken in the State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. In December 2003, I published images from my November-December trip to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In June 2003, I published a few of the many images I took during my travels in the Philippines in February 2003.
