Pulau Bunaken | Manado | Indonesia

Loooong time since posting. I know. Anyways, I’m done with my real job now, so I have plenty of time to work on long-neglected photos as I look for jobs.

I’m not posting my Sulawesi photos in order, because I don’t feel like it… And by that, I mostly just mean I’m lazy and there’s a lot more of the Tana Toraja ones than there were of these from Bunaken. I figured that it would take me less time to finish this set than the other one, so I could feel like I’ve been productive sooner :)

Bunaken’s alright. Nothing special, but then again, my beach standards are too high for anyone’s good. The water’s clear, and I hear the diving’s great, but there’s SO much garbage in the water. Everywhere. I got painfully sunburnt on the first morning we were there, chasing a pod of pilot whales, so I basically sat around and relaxed at the homestay place we were in.

South Sulawasi post will be coming up soon!

Suba’s Family Prayers II

I had the pleasure of shooting Suba’s family prayers for a second year in a row. This year was just as fun as the first round… with nicer light, and a bit more space to move around, but a whole lot more smoke to inhale – great fun!

My immune system is in a loosing battle to some nasty food poisoning that just doesn’t want to let up, so I’m in no mood to write, but on a completely unrelated note, I’m off to Sulawesi this weekend to look for something interesting to shoot…. and mud.

Vote for me!

So I need all of your votes. This photo was shortlisted for a Yahoo Singapore photo contest, but the final winner will be chosen by public voting. -Yes, it’s the worst possible way to run a photo contest… but it is what it is. –

I’m still in second place by about 50 votes, so in order to bribe you take the 3 seconds it takes to go to this link scroll through the five finalist photos, select my name in the voting box on the bottom and press the big “Vote” button, I’ll randomly select two people who voted to win a 10×12 print of your choice. I recommend dead fish. Reposting the contest link and asking your friends to vote on your flickr/facebook/twitter/whatever social network you fancy, will get you three entries.

Once you vote make sure to let me know. Anyway of contacting me works just fine: email, commenting on this post, facebook, flickr so I can add your name to the list.

Voting ends 15 September, so I’ll announce the winners and whether I won the contest shortly after that.

Columbia Brewery Tour

So every now and then I end up posting something that’s not some random muddy village in the middle of nowhere, or dead sea creatures. This is one of those times.

I’ve always wanted to go to visit the Kokanee brewery, because I had been deceived by the commercials to believe it was up in the glaciers in the middle of sasquatch land. Like I said… I’d been deceived. Creston, BC is clearly not a glacier, it’s a valley with fields and farms and stuff.

On the bright side, when we happened to be in Creston for an afternoon, and stopped at the Columbia Brewery to check it out, it happened to be the first day they were open for “the season.” I’m not sure what season it was – apparently the beer tour season – but we didn’t ask too many questions and just signed up. It only cost $2 which goes to charity and we got free usage of some excellent Ranger glasses and all ended with some beer sampling and reminiscing through all the classic sasquatch commercials.

…wait…why doesn’t my spell check understand the word sasquatch?!

johannes - I simply LOVE your reportage-style!!! so great! no matter what subject it is :-)

paul lcf - Excellent photos. In these times of artificially enchanced products be it food, experience or in this case photos, more can be appreciatted from what is 100% natural. Was at antigravity in nov11 & the photos brought back memories. Thank you for sharing your passion. Would like to know what type of camera & setup do you use.
Hope to see more of your wonderful work.

Laos Part II | Luang Prabang

I ended up spending more time in Luang Prabang than I had expected, which was just fine with me. Normally I have an aversion to overly touristy places, but even though Luang Prabang is the most touristy place in Laos, I still love it. It’s just too easy to lose time wandering around all the old temples and shop houses, chasing kittens in the monasteries, and tasting all the yummy things at the french bakeries.

Normally I stay in pretty cheap places, and only partially because it extends the travel budget and is a one of the main reasons I can justify traveling as much as I do. The other reason is because when I hate the room I’m staying in it ensures I’ll actually get out of it the minute I wake up. This time I decided to splurge on a few nights in one of the lovely little boutique hotels in town. I got a great deal at the Ramayana Boutique Hotel & Spa on agoda.com before I left on the trip, and my “splurging” still only cost about $50/night. Of course it meant that I spent a lot more time in the super pretty room being lazy, but it rained a lot of the time and I was sort of sick while I was there, so between lazying around in the hotel and several Laos massages, it worked out to be a perfect relaxing end to the otherwise seriously dirty trip.
