About.

Travel the world, as an independent photographer, imagine life.

Learn, understand, tolerate, enjoy, live - inhale different conceptions of life (all that TV [and the web] cannot give).

An Amazigh saying from the Moroccan Atlas: Those who rush are already dead. And Alain de Botton in The Art of Travel: Journeys are the midwives of thoughts. Take time and ponder - is from myself.

The prime vehicle is a cool 6-Wheeled Land Rover Defender, Foley's made, which needs a lot of caring attention. Some times we use other transport, however - with fuel prices up and shortages to come maybe we switch entirely, - some day.

The idea, adventure, project had been growing in my head for years. This feeling inside, the desire to leave and live a different life, it made it too easy to give up a job, give all other stuff away and hit the road. 22nd of June 2004.

In May 2005 I meet Hasna, Moroccan, she comes along! We are married, have two twin boys, Daniel and David. This Fab Trek continues. Photography and Journey, Story of Life Around the World.

I love Music, Art, Festivals and photography there off.
