I am an amateur photographer, avid reader, bicyclist, hiker, fitness swimmer and cruciverbalist.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust

A birth certificate shows that we were born. A death certificate shows that we died. Pictures showed that we lived.
