A street kid trying to sell postcards at Palmyra, Syria.
Just a simple shot of some folks enjoying a café at a sidewalk bistro in Paris. Nothing out of the ordinary, but people always interest me. Their expressions, postures, whether they’re engaged in conversations or in their own world even when with another. Fashion choices also interest me, and here I noticed all the women wore scarves, yet they each wore them a different way. The man and woman in the back, though together, seem oblivious to one another. I was also amused at their approach to food. He seems totally into the moment, whereas she appears to be agonizing over a bite, lol. I imagine her doing the math, furiously calculating the number of calories in that tiny morsel she contemplates. The two women on the left struck me as ‘being in communication’, yet at the same time indulging in separate interests. The one on the left is gazing rather intently at someone, while the one to her right seems to be looking elsewhere. The woman lower right seems totally lost in the paper, and the direction of the three women’s glances also interested me, in their juxtaposition. It was a lazy, rather uneventful moment, but one which captured my attention.

Madagascar; we stopped at a lookout where some locals were also relaxing. It’s fun taking photos of kids, smiles all around. Usually they mug for the camera, then squeal & point at themselves & their friends in the led screen. This little Malagasy girl asked to have her photo taken, then she went all shy.

This man is watching his cattle, its a chaotic moment , half the cattle in the river ,some on land, some on the ramp on the ferry to Toumbouctou. / The ramp is very slippery and its almost awfull to see the cows sliding back from the ramp and landing half in the air and halfl in the air. I had real mixed feelings about this while i was trying to watch. They had to go on that ferry,,what a nightmare and all those tourists and local people wanting to go on the ferry too… / They all wanted/needed to go to Toumbouctou to go to The Festival in the Desert.., Mali. / Watch this /
This little dog was barking madly at a street performer in Berlin Germany. His barking was such that the performer seemed to step out of character to see what was going on for a moment! Photographed with a Sony DSLR and modified slightly with Gimp. January 2009.

a man playing his guitar on commercial drive, vancouver bc, canada. this is not the first time i’ve taken his picture before, but this is the one that’s turned out well. he likes to yell at people that walk by, specially if someone tries to take his picture and walk away from him, like i did. he’s quite crude in personality. don’t remember much of his talent playing the guitar either, but he sure turned out well in this picture. i had my earphones on the whole time, and i could still hear him yelling ‘hey! hey! young man! hey!’ lol i just kept on walking like nothing happened. kind of felt bad, but oh well. i saw him again a week after this encounter, and he was yelling “what’re you taking pictures for!?” he kept on saying that until i disappeared after i decided to hop on the bus. Location : Commercial Drive, Vancouver bc / Canada
FIRST TIME PUBLISHED / Watch this I looked outside my restaurant in Broome I saw two cowboyheads sitting on the tables outside and I had a strong urge to make some photo’s. I spook to the two men they where from Fitzroy Crossing. They where watching a crowd of Indeginous Aboriginal men and women ‘hanging’ outside in the Plaza. They where waiting for the local liquorshop to open, In Fitzroy is now a ‘ban’ on alcohol, they told me, so Fitzroy Crossing is now a ‘dry’ Community Miss. / Broome, Western Australia. / Today I received an email stating; CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR IMAGE ‘TYPAN’ is one of 55 images from the PEOPLE & PLANET International Photo Competition. to be published in the 2009 People&Planet; Social Justice & Enviroment Diary, which will be published this month in Australia (2009). / We thought that your image was incredible, and it won from a pool of OVER 1000 images from 316 photographers from around the World! / All funds raised by the People&Planet diary go to Australia’s small non profit organisations which are working to promote social-justice and environmental substainability around the world. / / watched 802 times 7-11-09

The day was hot, thirst buds were aching for something cool and wet, and as we turned a corner in Kusadasi, Turkey this angel appeared with his manna from orchard heaven ready to be squeezed into fresh juice.
