Photos

Here are some photos taken after I obtained a digital camera in 2002. A few are scanned photos from earlier.

First, my two favorites.

• Sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge, taken from MSRI on November 14, 2002.
  
  
• Bungee jump from Sky Tower, Auckland, New Zealand, on January 15, 2003. Though the operators of Sky Tower call this a "bungee jump," the jumper is actually guided down. You can see the guide wires at the left, top, and right edges of the window.
