I admire people who can draw. Anything, even just a cartoon. That is
probably because I can't even do stick figures myself. So I've long
opted for photography. It lets me show other people things from my
(admittedly sometimes bizarre) perspective. The vast majority of pictures in this
website are taken by me. They have been re-sampled at 800x600 with
low, yet adequate
resolution for casual viewing and relatively quick downloading. On this
page, however, I have placed pictures that stand out and are
consequently provided in full size / resolution. They are elsewhere in
the site; this is just a short compilation of my favourites.
