I think the best way to evolve in photography is to always carry a camera. Of course, this implies I also take out the camera and shot with it, which unfortunately I still struggle with. Fuji X10 is a wonderful…
All museums have a lot of art that is never seen by the public. This is the working clay for thematic exhibitions, or research material for museologists and art students. I always imagine dark, dusty hallways filled with countless crates…
European cities, long weekends and photography go very well together. The “common” knowledge says that the fourth element is sun. There is a general feeling that in order to make good photos a lot of sun is mandatory. Yet the…
The classic photo of Venice is a composition with a gondolla, a bridge near the foreground and one or two palaces in the background. And of course I have countless images like this. However, like any city, Venice offers more.…
I took countless photos of people from Myanmar – from children, field workers, monks, people on the streets of Yangon – everywhere you point the camera there is an interesting face. The only other place where I could literally not…
Officially the summer is over since September 1st. However, only today really feels like autumn is here. Rain – clouds – sleeping late – umbrellas. Yet the biggest change is that weekends no longer mean going to the seaside. Probably…
Do all photographers have a pet obsession? Your cat maybe? Or interesting windows? Or – i think this is a phase in every female photog life – pictures of the feet. After a few tens of thousands of photos I…
Because I started doing some homework – processing old photos, selecting the good and discarding the chaff, and so on – I started to get little folders of newly processed photos. Some of these were already published here, but now…
How to best describe Bruxelles? A tiny gem of a town, old buildings and new people or waffles and beers ? I really liked the few days I spent in Belgium – split between Bruxelles, Bruges and to neighboring Luxembourg.…
Black and white photography can be evocative, touching, even haunting. It is said that the best photographs are those that can cut all the clutter and convey a message, a story, in a minimum of elements. And reducing a photo…
Ciudad de Mexico is…. the smell of delicious food – tortas, burritos, quesadilla, and so many more which I intend to try music – everywhere I can hear a band playing – from love songs to spanish rock colonial buildings…
Sometimes people look at me somewhat strange when I tell them I have no particular plan when I start traveling. I have a general idea what I want to see, and at one point (morning coffee) I read the guide…
Last weekend I went to Otaku 2010. Looking extremely confused at the different activities – from cosplay, drawing, console gaming – I tried to think for a reason why I am going to these events. The only reason I found…
2 weeks ago I went to a trip near Bran Castle with some work colleagues. Fun experience, and some photographic opportunities presented themselves. Almost everyone had already seen the castle, so we skipped it (however for someone who is in…
I found these photos I took last year at a manga / gaming convention. It was a really eerie experience – I could not recognize even one anime playing, nor console games played. The only familiar things were Warhammer 40k…
Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in South-East Asia. As it sustains a lot of wildlife and small communities it’s a great place to visit once you get “templed out”. After the amazing temples of Angkor a change feels…
While Angkor Wat is the most famous temple complex in Cambodia, there is a huge diversity of temples in the area. I think a whole week would not be enough to visit every little temple – so everybody has to…
Chiang Mai is small town in northern Thailand, famous for the many activities one can do. From elephant riding, trekking, rafting, visiting the tiger zoo to enjoying the many markets and strolling the old town. And of course you cannot…
This is the last photo gallery from Laos – images from Luang Prabang street life, temples and life on the river. The last pictures are taken from the airplane, leaving for Siem Reap. Previous galleries from laos can be found…
For some Laos is the “real” Asia. Of course, every country is very real. From the BTS in Bangkok to the hill tribes to relaxed Laos to crazy traffic in Hanoi. Looking for the “real” Asia (re: rice fields, fastest…
