maybe I am going to make a series of the "men at work"... at least I am going to post a bit more in the blog.

The images from Syria are quite different from the images from Cuba. Less street work but more portraits mainly from men at work.

I am back home now from our last trip to Burma. The images are stored on hard disk and look promising. Before showing work from Burma I first am going to continue with images from Syria.

Last days some work from Syria, we are leaving now for next trip. Today we're leaving for Myanmar.

unconventional composition in this photo...

Syria was different from Cuba and other places I visited before. In Mali I started with portraits, in Cuba besides the portraits street photography became the subject. In Syria for me the streets where too full, too crowded. When I look at first work from Syria I see more portraits, less decisive moments.

Today a first portrait from the Syria trip:

Two more portraits of the price winning photograph:

Together with Associació Demé there is an exhibition from December 12th till December 31st.

1st price in photo competition by UNICEF Netherlands:

Let me take the chance to compensate the visitors of the blog that where missing postings last weeks. Today another slide show!

As promised yesterday, after a longer period of absence, a new slide show!

I do have my difficulties to choose photo's from Cuba for the Blog, today a streetshot and... Tomorrow a slideshow with Streets of Cuba! (Promised!!)

quite strange, is't it?

After years of maintenance quite a lot of things still are working in Cuba, Trains however today are not a good way to travel; they either are delayed or canceled. We tried to book a ticket but everybody told us to take the bus.. I took this photograph and we went for a bus to leave La Habana.

...it's a matter of seeing and pressing the button on the decisive moment (and of course to be there at the right time)

What should I say? just a nice corner and a nice moment in La Habana.
