I've traveled to over 40 countries in the past 35 years. Some of the photos are scanned from my original slides and negatives. Most are taken with my Canon 10D or Lumix DMC-LX1.

Christo, The Pont Neuf Wrapped, 1985 : Conceived in 1975, this project for the Pont-Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, marks Christo and Jeanne-Claude's last proposal to wrap an extant structure. After obtaining the approval of both the mayor of Paris and the president of France, the artists and 300 workers began wrapping the bridge on 16 September 1985 with a golden sandstone fabric. With the exception of the roadway, the entire surface was covered with 454,178 square feet of the woven polyamide material. The drapes and folds of fabric softened and transformed the Pont-Neuf, while terracotta-colored polypropylene rope accentuated its proportions. The result recalled a series of caryatids, or classical draped statuary. Witnessed by three million visitors before its removal on 5 October, the project has been considered the most sculptural of the Christos' monumental works. I was fortunate to have been in Paris, and walking along the Seine with my trusty Canon F-1, when I noticed the final toches being added to this project. I returned again the the next day, and was able to spot Christo and Jean Claude being interviewed by some media on a barge in the river, near the bridge.

Vintage Morroco : I lived in Morroco in the early 1970's, and these are some of the photos I did using a Canon F-1, and primarily Kodachrome 64. The transparancies have much deteriorted, and I have been diligently using Photoshop to correct the damage. Most photos were taken in either Tangier, or the Rif mountains in the north of Morroco, and a select few in the southern area, in or near Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains.

Journey to the East, a trip to India : In December 2007, we took a 2 month trip to India. Spent most of our time in the south, although did manage to get to the Taj Mahal and Rajastan before heading to southern India. The country is a photographers dream, everywhere you turn are incredible images, and the people (for the most part) actually enjoy being photographed.
