I knew that there would be more tourist in Burma than our last visit two years ago, and we had seen a few in Mingun, and Ava, but nothing had prepared me for the hordes that I saw at U Bein bridge.... Lees meer

Over mij
My passion for photography began only ten years ago but my passion for travel began more than 40 years ago with an overland journey from England to India.
India stole my heart and became my home for 10 years and Asia became my favourite continent having travelled to almost every Asian country, including countless time to India, eight times to Burma and more recently twice to Bangladesh.
I enjoy taking photographs of people and environmental portraits, I love colour and textures.
Winning Reisreporter van het Jaar in 2013, took me outside my comfort zone. My prize was a photographic trip to Ecuador. A new continent and a new challenge, - landscape photography.
It was a wonderful trip, spectacular scenery from the heights of Andes Mountains to the Amazon Rainforest. The report of my trip is published in the Columbus magazine edition 49 and some photos are here in my gallery.

The tuk-tuk driver's.
Next to our guest house in Kumbakonam, on a stretch of wasteland about the size of three football pitches, was a small shanty town. Many of the Kumbakonam's tuk-tuk drivers lived here. I noticed this tuk-tuk with Che hand painted on the back awning and took a photo. The young daughter came out of their hut, she intrigued in what I was doing, me intrigued by how beautiful she looked in her white school uniform and gleaming gold. I showed her the photo that I had just taken, she stood next to the tuk-tuk, looking first at Che and then at me. I grabbed the opportunity to take her portrait with Che.:)
Hide and Seek
She was playing hide and seek with her brother in the temple in Mandu, with her natrual coloured shawl around her shoulders she blended into her surroundings only those eyes gave her away.......
Farmers - Devotees
I mentioned the other day that a pilgrimage can be taken at any time but mainly just prior or after a big life event. I met these Vishnu devotees in Kanchipuram, they are farmers from the same village, after the terrible, non-existent rains this year their pilgrimage was in hope of a better harvest. We spent some time with them in the temple, friendly people and wonderful photo opportunities.

Mijn favoriete foto's & tips van anderen (59)
Kerkuil
Hoe raar ook... maar ik begin langzaam maar zeker ons eigen kikkerlandje te ontdekken en te waarderen als wildlife fotograaf. Zo ben ik in contact gekomen met een koeienboer in de achterhoek die kerkuilen met een nest in zijn hooischuur heeft. Daar maar eens een avond/nacht zitten posten, dit is een van de foto's waar ik erg blij mee was.
Pleasant sunday...mor
Het voordeel om in de zomer noordelijk te zitten, is dat om half vijf de zon al op komt. Dat betekent dat rond een uur of zeven, de zon dan al vrij hoog aan de hemel staat. Het is zondagochtend, iets na zevenen en geen mens op straat, noch op het water. Loch Ness ontwaakt. Nu Nessie nog!
Rishikesh bezoeken
Rishikesh is een klein stadje in de noordelijke staat Uttarakhand in India. Prachtig gelegen waar de rivier de Ganges naar beneden komt uit de Himalaya. Swarg Ashram, gelegen aan de oostelijke oever is het autovrije 'spirituele centrum' van Rishikesh je komt daar heel veel Sadhu's tegen. Deze sadhu was dagelijks te vinden op zijn favoriete plekje met de muurschildering van spiritueel leraar en guru Mooji.
