Gone to See Patagonia 2010/2011. Photography Workshop with Thom Hogan. Day 8: Hosteria El Pilar.
Trees in Patagonia along the trail from Hosteria El Pilar to Laguna Torre. Many of the trees in Patagonia are distorted by the constant wind always coming from the same direction, one struck by lightning, and one drilled full of holes by Magellanic Woodpeckers looking for grubs.

My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
