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.

My Casio 10-PQ travel alarm clock. This must have the highest noise-to-size ratio of any travel alarm clock out there. I love it. It's tiny, simple and just works. I bought this in New York in 2005 just before my big trip and it's still going strong on the original battery after nearly two years of use. Even though I'm not traveling now I still use it as my daily alarm clock. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be widely available in the US. A google search reveals a single epinions review and two Casio product pages from New Zealand and Germany. I got mine from one of those gadget vendors on 5th Ave. in the 40s that specialize in T-shirts and WTC memorabilia and often sell oddly sourced gadgets.

The Right to Bear SLRs. Confronting security goons--a topic near to my heart.

Valleywag on YouTube's founders: Chad Hurley is more photogenic; even if Google's publicists insist on both Youtube founders being present for the photo shoots, watch magazine editors push the dorky Taiwanese-American engineer to the edge of the frame..

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 I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
