Welcome! I’m a passionate traveler, photographer, and cardiologist dedicated to exploring and capturing the diverse beauty of our world. My journey started in 1978 during a three-month backpacking trip through Europe, traveling by train and staying in youth hostels. Although I had no photographic skills back then, this adventure sparked a strong desire to see and experience different cultures and landscapes worldwide.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in cardiology. After completing medical school, residency, and fellowship, I have been practicing since 1987. I feel fortunate that this profession has funded my passion for travel photography.
In the early years of my photography journey, I focused on capturing the essence of different cultures, architecture, and street scenes. These images reflect my fascination with human stories and the diverse societies they inhabit.
My love for wildlife inspired me to go on safaris across Africa, where I captured images of majestic animals and beautiful scenery. I also explored the remote Falkland and South Georgia Islands, documenting the amazing penguin colonies, and traveled to Antarctica, the ultimate destination for wildlife and serene landscapes.
In recent years, my focus has shifted more toward landscape photography. I enjoy capturing waterfalls from around the world, and marvel at the stunning landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, Iceland, and U.S. national parks. Nature’s raw power and tranquility inspire my work and spark my creativity.
Blogging is also an essential part of my website. It acts as a travel journal of my experiences around the world, and is a valuable tool to educate visitors about the technical aspects and art of photography. I invite you to explore my portfolio, read the stories behind the images, and join me on this visual and narrative journey.
Thank you for visiting!
