WELCOME
I fell in love with photography when my parents gave me my first Kodak Brownie camera when I was 10. My love of travel came a bit later when I took my first trip to Europe. My wife, Michelena, is the perfect partner. She also loves to travel and has grown accustomed to me wandering off to take yet another picture from another angle.
The only things I ever want to bring back from my travels are my pictures. I recall the excitement of getting the developed prints from a lab or picking them up at a local store. Then reliving the trip over and over, selecting which pictures made it into an album. There is no waiting anymore. And the albums have been replaced by this website.
I started this site after Michelena and I got back from a vacation to Cambodia and Vietnam. Our recent trip to northern Italy and southern France motivated me to expand the site with that trip as well. I have also started creating galleries of many of our other trips.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed the trips.

Place Galleries
The galleries are grouped by countries (with the exception of Sicily). Within each galley are collections of photos usually grouped by city or place. Sicily is simply too diverse, not to mention beautiful, not to have its own gallery.
Collections
Within the Collections gallery are groups of photos that are not necessarily place-centered. Those include people, food, flowers, the scooters in Vietnam and Cambodia, the Fiats in Italy, and the rooftops of Paris.
