In early 2018, the Institut Français du Benin in Cotonou put together an exhibit of some of my travel photography. All in all, it was 25 photos from journeys to places far and wide—Patagonia, the Gulf, the Sahel, Europe, et cetera, et cetera—on a wide variety of modes of transport—cars, motorcycles, trains, container vessels, you name it!

What a memorable experience it was! A bit nerve wracking at times, but memorable just the same. One of the things that persists in my mind from it is how nice it was to work with all those great professionals at the Institut. Thank you everybody, yet again!

Anyway, below you will be able to see a selection of 12 photos from that exhibit. Left click on any one of them to see it in full size. Cheers.
