These are my photographs, some very old, some quite recent. Some of them were scanned from slides or negatives, some taken with digital cameras.

My articles on technical aspects of photography, mostly digital, can be found in the Photo section of this site.

Note: some of these pages are instrumented with my Flipper or Swapper image-browsing utilities; these are flagged as [F] or [S] in the list below.
