There is a Buddha statue in my garden. While the Buddha sits and watches, the snails come and go.

I aspire to that centeredness - in the process of creating photographs and in life - hence the name snailwatcher.

This site exists primarily to share my photos and secondarily to share my interest in old maps. It is my intention that this site will provide digital respite in a turbulent world. Take a break from your busy day and enjoy some beauty.
