Reflections about my travels and photography during the pandemic. And if, and why, I might have PTSD and life in general. Also, photos to two photo exhibitions.

Things I take for granted

M.I.A. – Missing In Action

What I’ve been up to, or down below in the sea, lately. A recap of my last weeks in Bali and what I’ve learned about underwater photography. And, an explanation why I’ve not had the time to blog at all.

Museums, huh?!!

I visited The Blanco Museum here in Ubud, Bali and found it to be most inspiring. Like I usually do when looking at paintings since that’s where I learned the most about photography.

A short appreciation post to the most photogenic subject there is, water! And of course, big thanks to all surfers who help me make the photos more interesting.

It was a beautiful morning

What I did this morning. Yes, went out and took some surf photos. Amazing waves. Some thoughts about how I function while taking pictures.

Oh, I have a printshop too.

Dropping the news that I have a printshop. East Coast Memories is one of the collections on my Smugmug site.

The one that got away

Some photography advise, some photo editing confessions and an apology. And surf photos from a lovely April morning here in Bali, Indonesia.
