Northward gaze.
Puerto Vallarta, 2013
Religious iconography has always fascinated me. The confluence of art and superstition is a fertile crossroads. The irony is deliciously eye-pleasing.
The Lion City, 2007
A man rests by his bicycle before a Chinese shrine in the shadow of a giant Banyan dressed with Hindu blessings. The marriage of cultures in Singapore is a beautiful thing to behold.

—Oscar Wilde
Beachy Head, 2016

As his desire is, so is his determination,
As his determination is, so is his deed,
Whatever his deed is, that he attains.'

7th century BC
Killington, 2016
A plume of artificial snow rises from the mountainside in Vermont.
Cramond, 2009
There's something quite magical about the possibility of being stranded on the other side of a passageway which disappears with the tide. Cramond Island in Scotland's Firth of Forth is no less enchanted or enchanting.
