Welcome

Thanks for visiting. I'm a photographer from the US, and I do social work in India, where I live full-time. My photo library features 15,000 photographs from Alaska to the Amazon to Africa, that you can easily explore through keywords, galleries or search. I have a separate India Photo Library with 9,000 images. Major subjects include forest and wetland conservation, religion, wildlife, wild plants, farming, and all things India.
