These pages are a collection of photographs taken around the world. As time goes on, they will be included in country-specific portfolios. They are grouped by country and region.
Note: Some of these scans are more than ten years old and will eventually be replaced.

Far above Cayuga's Waters...so begins the Cornell school song. Although going to school there was entirely too much work, there were three major compensations: Incredible friends, interesting people and beautiful scenery. This photo taken of ivy growing up the side of the Modern Languages building (which is where I studied Russian formally for the first and last time).
Every year the freshman architecture students make a giant green dragon. In a somewhat bizarre ritual, they parade it around campus on St. Patrick's Day where it gets pelted with eggs by the engineering students before being ritualistically burned.
I grew up in Rochester NY but my parents live about 30 minutes to the east. Right nearby is a little 200 year old village called Pultneyville which has a little channel for ships to enter and exit. This photo was taken during a winter sunset.
