Travel & Photos

Photography

I've been a serious amatuer and occasional freelance photographer for about 20 years. I've got about 5 or 6 thousand old photos, some of which are actually worth looking at. Unfortunately I don't have a scanner, and right now the photos and negatives are about 6000 miles away from me. This means you don't need to sit through hours and hours of a virtual slide show on the 'net. Lucky you. My on-line Photo Gallery has quite a few shots now.
You can also visit my Picasa Gallery (Google login required).

Update!

After a mere 3 1/2 or 4 years of window shopping, I finally bought a digital camera! Instant gratification! More photos! More bits to manipulate! More images for you, the lucky web-site visitor, to see!

Travel and Expatriate Living

I caught the international travel bug seriously in 1998 when I moved to Turkey. The bug only got worse when I lived in in Zagreb, Croatia in 2001-2002. This section of my web site is an attempt to gather up some of the photos and observations I've collected.

Note that many sections are merely placeholders--I don't have the photos from older trips on-line, but they will get filled in eventually.

Here are some links to sites that I've found useful, particularly if you're an American considering doing the expatriate thing.

Live & Work Abroad: A Guide for Modern Nomads by Huw Francis and Michelyne Callan
Both The Economist and The International Herald Tribune are widely available, and are good sources of news.
The In Your Pocket travel guides are suprisingly good for "inside" info that's useful to residents.
Of course, the Rough Guide and Lonely Planet guide books are good.
EscapeArtist Home Page: Overseas living for international job seekers, expatriates and tax exiles, Your Guide to International living
European business & news
Expat Forum
Currency Converter
OverseasJobs.com International Jobs, Careers and Work Abroad
Employment opportunities in Slavic and East European countries
International Weather
Translator

Are you thinking of working in international development? Well, avoid Developmentex.com. They have continued to spam me repeatedly for over a year, and continue to ignore my attempts to "unsubscribe" from lists to which I never subscribed. If that's how they communicate with potential employees, I'd never want them to represent me or want to do any business with them.
