I don't do epic landscapes and scenery very
well. But if you are interested in people of other cultures,
especially in the greater Middle East, I think perhaps you may want to
spend some time poking around my website.
In each of the past
7 years I have returned to the Greater Middle East for extended travels.
During each travel I
try to spend time in eastern Turkey, returning to visit and photograph my
Kurdish friends for whom I have developed a deep respect and affection.
This year I also visited Iraqi Kurdistan to add to my understanding of
the Kurds, and the Yezedi religion.
Also in
2007 I concentrated some of my efforts photographing
Kurdish hands,
believing that hands alone can reveal much about a person. It
turned out to be incredibly intrusive. Although often puzzled and
bemused about taking these photos, the Kurds were patient and gracious
with me. To see these images,

Most images on this
site are for sale. If you are interested in purchasing or using the images, or
arranging for a gallery exhibition or slide show/lecture, please
