| Hi! Thanks for visiting. I'm an American photographer living in Buenos Aires. These are photos from the blog I kept on my site from 2003 to 2009. I now have redesigned the home page to just show a portfolio of my current work. I also blog at BuenosAiresPhotographer.com where I post my baires snapshots. |
 |
| Georgian Dublin near Merrion Square. I was annoyed with the presence of the cars at first but then I realized that they will forever date this picture to 2005ish. |
 |
| Yield in Gaelic. Lots of signs are in Gaelic. Long distance buses will state their destination only in Gaelic. |
 |
| Killary Fjord in Connemara, in the far west of Ireland. I flew to Dublin but went that first weekend with my Argentine friend Marcos hiking for three days. The landscape was forbidding and beautiful. Looking at the small plots and stone walls I could see why so many of the Irish here left for the Lower East Side. |
 |
| My first pint of Guiness in Ireland, after a long hike in County Galway. So after Utah I spent some days in San Jose, Los Angeles and New York, altho nothing grabbed me photographically. |
 |
| Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. All the little people to the left are photoraphers who hiked up for a closer view. This is the best I could do with a 200mm zoom. |
 |
| I never envisioned this blog as a forum for photographs of Rocks & Trees, but, here's more Fabulous Bryce Canyon. And it really was fabulous. |
 |
| Bryce Canyon in the moonlight. This is a 30 second exposure. One of the great things about a digital SLR is that you can just keep taking pictures until you get the exposure right. At night your rods can't see the color in the landscape but moonlight is just reflected sunlight, much less intense. If you leave the shutter open long enough, you get the same colors as you would in daylight. |
 |
| Sunset at Bryce. The place is wicked beautiful and full of photographers going wild. I felt odd taking pictures. It's impossible to capture something like this and then squeeze it into 750x500 pixels. |
 |
| Weeping Rock at Zion National Park in Utah. The narrow canyon is now only accessible by a very efficient shuttle bus. In addition to getting rid of traffic and parking problems, the reduction in traffic means that it's now quiet again. I noticed, amongst the diverse tourists, lots of Mormon families with uncountable numbers of blond children running about. |
 |
| Old neon signs from the "neon graveyard", a lot filled with old signs maintained by the Neon Museum, yet another only-in-vegas place. |

 | Hi. I'm a 33 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. Currently I'm posting most of my pictures on BuenosAiresPhotographer.com. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures. |
