TheWorldinLight Photographic Gallery

TheWorldinLight Photographic Gallery was started by Robert Stephens. Robert is a retired Research Scientist with nearly 40 published scientific articles and the holder of 5 patents. Prior to starting TheWorldinLight, Robert conducted research on nanochemical hydrogen storage mechanisms to support fuel cell vehicle development as well as research in renewable energies. He is also the inventor of "Smog Dog", a system for remotely measuring the pollution from moving vehicles that was commercially produced and sold by Hughes Aircraft Corporation in the 1990's. Now as the photographer for TheWorldinLight, his gallery specializes in prints of flowers, nature, and landscapes. He also has an extensive collection of photographs of people and cultures and abstract images that have been acquired from 30 countries around the world. He still actively travels internationally and regularly adds new images to his gallery.

Web Changes

This is where I'll announce the most recent additions to my gallery. If you've visited this site before and want to know what's changed since, take a look on this page first.

Site Status as of June 29, 2009

I have updated the New Zealand page with additional photos.

Way overdue - I have created the site: Roraima Tepui of Venezuela. I climbed this mountain in 2006. The first men to climb it were part of a National Geographic Expedition in the early 1900's. Tepuis are unusual mountains that rise nearly vertically from the surrounding rolling grasslands of the northern parts of South America. The sheer vertical cliffs make the peaks nearly totally inaccessible and isolated. Consequently, the flora and fauna atop these tepuis have evolved separately from their surroundings. It's estimated that up to 50% of species found there are found nowhere else on earth. Just a tad more - Roraima Tepui and the National Geographic expedition was the basis for a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel entitled "The Lost World".

Also long overdue are the photos of the Angkor Temples of Cambodia. These photos were taken in 2003 with a Minolta X-700 film camera. The film was ruined during processing in Cambodia. The decision to process there was intended to avoid multiple exposures to airport x-ray machines during a multi-country trip. The film negatives were subsequently scanned and processed via Photoshop as best I could. I've also uploaded a more general site on Cambodia.

I've started a page I'm calling Residential Wildlife. This page contains photos of an assortment of insects, flowers, and birds I see in the garden around my residential home in Michigan.

I returned home in March after living in Peru for several months. I've added photos of Arequipa and the The Colca Canyon - possibly the deepest canyon in the world. As part of my visit to the Colca Canyon, I took many photos of Andean Condors at Cruz del Condor at the edge of the Colca Canyon in Peru. When visiting the Colca Canyon, I spent a couple of days in Cabanaconde, Peru, and enjoyed the friendliness of these hard-working people of Quechuan descent. I also visited the city of Chivay, Peru. Following my visit to the Colca Canyon, I traveled to Cusco, and from there went to the beautiful and famous Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in the Andes Mountains. These sites are meant to give potential visitors an idea of what there is to see and do in these places.

I am also adding a slideshow option for the viewing of the large images on the thumbnails pages. This is being done gradually, on a page-by-page basis. Photos can now be viewed by using the cursor rollover function, clicking an image to open the larger version and then stepping through large images one at a time, or using this slideshow option to view the large images displayed on that page. Enjoy!

I am gradually expanding my gallery of photos, so please come back often. I hope you enjoy the new photos on TheWorldinLight Photographic Gallery.
