    In a mud pool at the sea salt mines near Bourgas, Bulgaria locals gather. He applies the mud from the pool and then stands upright until it is dry only to take a dip in the nearby sea. Afterwards he gets a relaxing swim in the 30cm of water in the salt mine (80-90% pure salt)

    What is she feeling?

    While waiting for my train at a Metro station in Paris, on the opposite track another train stopped and I was lucky to find myself equipped with my camera and right in front of this window. I had just 20 seconds to catch the scene while I was struck by the mixed feelings that arose from the lady expression. Once I downloaded the picture on my computer I realized how the scene seemed perfectly staged.

    one day at a time

    While strolling around a temple in Bagan, I came across what appears to be a 3 generation unit. I was drawn to the colorful little girl, of course, but to the eldest woman selling hand-rolled cigars as well. Seeing this unit together appearing relaxed with an inner contentedness I couldn't help reflecting on the deep funk and angst so many seem to be feeling in other parts of the (advanced) world.
