I´m back in Penang (Malaysia) for an interesting assignment with the good people at the Penang Heritage Trust, over the last few days we´ve been thrashing out the details and I should begin shooting in the next couple of days. I´ll be here for at least a month, I hope to squeeze in a couple of short trips during this time but it depends how things pan out. This months wallpaper was shot in Lamalera, Indonesia. While I was waiting for the fishermen

In the last 10 days I´ve climbed 3 different volcanoes the last of which, Ijen, I climbed 5 times. Why? Keep reading to find out.

There is an option to fly to these islands, which I imagine probably only takes an hour or two, but where´s the fun in that. Personally I´m not a huge fan of flying for the simple reason that you never have much interaction with anyone else on-board, we all just sit there facing forward waiting in near silence for

These shots of fish being smoked were taken in the North Java town of Jepara, I was passing on a hired scooter and could resist stopping and meeting the locals. This one eventually became our lunch. More coming soon, hopefully before the weekend but no promises, Ok?

I’ve got a few things lined up here in Java before I head East. Meet Tomo. He, along with many others on Javas North coast, is a furniture maker. I spent many hours with Tomo and other furniture makers around the village of Jepara, North

On my return I found out that my last post on the Clan Jetties of Penang did not go live when I expected it to, it’s all fixed now and you can read the post here I´m lining up a few posts here so if

I’ve left Penang and am writing this post from a very flaky Internet cafe in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Penang was, as it always is, fantastic – the mix of cultures and traditions leave so much to explore, but more on that later.
