SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. (July 2010). Three icons.

LUND, SWEDEN. (October 2008). Who says Halloween is fun only for kids? A shot of a few wacky friends on the spookiest day of the year.

LUND, SWEDEN. (March 2008). I live with nine roommates, which means a ready source of unwitting models. Here's one of Linda, my favourite Aussie. Sorry for the softness in the photo; I kind of front-focused my OM Zuiko 50mm f1.8. Three things I wish for: clearer eyesight, a better focusing screen, and Olympus providing focus confirmation for legacy OM Zuiko lenses. Maybe someday.
