I'm an American who has been living and working in Moscow, Russia for the last 6 years. I'm a published writer and photographer. I am a teacher here in Moscow and I love history, photography, writing and the outdoors. My main camera is a Panasonic FZ50 with Olympus WCON and TCON lens, Raynox Macro lens set, Cactus Radio remote, Gorillapod, Vosonic portable storage and other odds and ends like tripod, filters and what not. The people of Moscow are so nice and I enjoy it here, this old southwest Georgia conservative was very surprised at everything he has seen in this wonderful country. I like photographing the many sites found in Moscow and the surrounding areas, not only the famous sites like the Kremlin, Red Square and St. Basil's Cathedral, but I like to focus on the sites that most tourists do not even know about, much less see.

If your interested in using any of my work, feel free to contact me, and we can discuss it. I only upload small re-sized versions of my photos, I have larger versions and higher resolution photos if anybody is interested, that I do not upload. But be warned, if you use my work without my permission and I find out about it, I will take action.

Thanks for taking a look at my photos and I hope you enjoyed them.
