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.

Route 33 north of Ojai, one of my favorite roads in California. I drove up to the Bay Area on Saturday following backroads. Rt. 33 was closed at a certain point and I was forced on a 70 mile detour thru the Tejachapi Mountains--Lockwood Valley Road to Cuddy Valley Road to Mil Potrero Road which turns into Cerro Noroeste Road which finally meets up again with Rt. 33 (in case you, or I, want to retrace my steps). It was a corner of Southern California I've always meant to explore. There were lots of stubby pines, burn patches, white pick-ups, American flags, Bush stickers and cutesy log cabin-style mountain homes. It's defininately not Mazda Miata country altho I love the mountain roads. Zoom zoom! I continued north on the 33 thru the oil-patch apocalpsis of Taft and back over the coastal range on the 58, zig-zagging thru Paso Robles wine country onto the 46 and over the last set of coastal hills to the ocean, fog, cool air and Route 1--all the way up to Santa Cruz (see also Feb 06).

São Paulo Graffiti. For months I've been annoyed at Flickr's 3-set restriction for el cheapo users like me. Yahoo Photo has now grafted on Flickr's DNA allowing for tags, comments, contacts and the above set is a sort of experiment. The photos are of graffiti murals and pichações that I took in SP during my two visits this year and last. Also check out the Brasil Graffit Flickr pool

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 I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
