| Two
of my many obsessions include traveling and writing. And now,
thanks
to the Net, you're about to be subjected to the end result of combining
the two: that's right, you've found my travel diary section.
These days, I prefer to make others pay for my bandwidth, so
my later adventures are all hosted on Wikitravel Extra. |

write nearly as voraciously as I used to...
If you liked the photography, you may wish to take a peek at the photo archives for lots more, including my own favorites and some studio work. |
