Day 18~ June 18th~ Xinjiang
Houses were built so that we may hide behind their windows and doors… The old city of Kashgar is a maze of old narrow alleys, meandering around and around, some leading to the city center, others ending with stone walls that bar your entry. I was told that the cobble stones in the alley are…

Day 17~ May 17th~ Cambodia
I do have a passion about diving into the records of the past. The wealth of impressions in historical artifacts is too great to ignore, it is awe-inspiring, magnificent and a perfect playground for mystery dreaming. Why did the ancients record important events so meticulously on reliefs, on temple walls, on pyramids, on tombs, on…

Day 31~ March 31st~ Egypt
Every journey must end for a new one to begin… This image concludes the Egypt series for the month of March and I thought in encapsulates the whole experience for me. Humans, friends, together in a quest, searching for the truth, looking at the ancient, to better cope with the now and with the future.…

Day 15~ March 15th~ Egypt
They say that whatever you do while alive on this planet is printed in the astral light of it, in its archives, waiting to be tuned to and accessed… I remember one time while working in Paris and on a quieter morning at the Louvre, standing in front of the Mona Lisa gazing at her…

Day Three Hundred Forty Nine, January 6, 2011
You can see it every day in this city, a new demolitions site, another traditional neighborhood condemned to destruction and giving way to the race for a future city of sky scrapers. Imagine having to pack up all your belongings on a whim and move to a new world with no history, no character and…

Day Two Hundred Fifty Four, October 3, 2011
The state of most young people after the end of school today is overshadowed by confusion. Too many influences all pulling in different directions, too many decisions to make, too many specialties to choose from, to many religious beliefs to adhere to or not adhere to, too many schools of fashion to adopt, too many…

Day Two Hundred Thirty Three, September 12, 2011
Smoke screens, we all have them, don’t we? We present a face to the world, an identity, an image, a made up representation of who we want others to think we are. It is often rougher than we are, sharper, tougher, with an edge and with a certain amount of vagueness. We protect our inner…

Day Two Hundred Twenty Two, September 1, 2011
Most of us live in this world that we are born into with most of our attention focused on the events that directly touch our lives. What is close to us and what will influence us directly is what ends up hoarding most of our care and attention. It is only in rare moments that…
