What a backyard to play in – beach soccer in Dubai
Imagine a beach where it never rains – almost. Perfect sun 360 days a year. Maybe a bit hot in peak summer. But warm water, few currents. That’s Jumeirah beach in Dubai. My initial thought as this young boy persisted in playing in front of…
On a beach in Dubai
Dubai is a fascinating place. It is a place of extremes. Extreme wealth and extreme poverty. The tallest building in the world, the most expensive cars, the biggest mall …. One of the places you see extremes is on the beaches. On the one hand…
The Tragedy of the Greek Refugee Crisis – from Athens, Greece
At the end of March I was in Athens to witness firsthand the refugee crisis. Seldom have I been so overwhelmed emotionally. This shot was taken in the port of Athens where hundreds of refugees are camped in small tents. The events in Paris and…

Chapel of Vitaleta, Pienza
This place is hard to find. Its not really marked on the main road, the turn-off that is. And then when you find the road there is still no sign for its entrance. And then the entrance has a locked gate, requiring you to leave…
School girls in Kathmandu
The world is so vast and different. I get to travel and see many amazing places that few people get to enjoy. From the sophistication of New York or London, to simplicity of the plains of Africa. The cultures of these places are so different…
The Superabundance of the Smokies
It is amazing how often, as a photographer, you ignore your backyard. I live 90 minutes from the heart of the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee and yet I go so seldom. Most of my photographs are from exotic (to me at least) parts of the…
