Travel Photos



After living and performing music abroad for a number of years in The Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Germany, I found time to travel widely – oftentimes for concerts abroad with cello in tow, but sometimes without – and I took lots of pictures along the way.  Although I don’t have any formal training in photography, my pictures did tend to get better the more I shot.  I’ve received quite a few requests for my photos now, so here’s the best of the lot, which gives a good sense of the miles I covered in my time as an expat.
