My Favourite Photos

I have been snapping photos for donkey's years. I have thousands of them taken on three different continents. My problem is that most of them are lifeless. All, that is, except for an honourable few that I have lately taken pains to expose the loveliness I sensed in the original scenes. My hope is that you, too will sense a little of the loveliness that urged me to record them in the first place.
