A wonderful short set of photographs from Berlin based Katinka. She says she loves to fly but I feel the narrative that she presents represents more how I see the travel experience; cold and devoid of the warmth and excitement that it used to represent. Her photoblog is worth an afternoon of study - very inspiring.
Korean photographer Yoonki Kim's touching photos of Klongtoey slum - one of the largest slums in Thailand. Smiles and radiance despite surroundings that would make many of us want to hide in a hole.
Wonderful photography from Romain Philippon, shot between 2005 and 2006, as he travelled throughout Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar. In his words:
I discovered places I would never have imagined, and faces I would believe unreal. I felt in love instantly with this area, with the way of moving, the softness of living, and the incredible warmness of the inhabitants.
This is how I feel when I travel to these places.
Brad Kremer, known for his film work for Burton, shot this captivating time lapse in the summer of 2009 in various locations through-out Japan. It's work of this caliber that keeps me coming back to films featuring this technique.
Beautiful work.
An excellent photo series from Taiwanese photojournalist Liang-I Chang (Leo Chang) depicting the Chinese and Vietnamese fishermen in Tamsui, Northern Taiwan.
The F-blog's description of the series:
Chinese fishermen employed by Taiwanese boss are prohibited to get out of fishboat, due to the complex cross strait relationship. So , they work , they eat, they sleep they do everything in the boat and that is their only one place. If they get out of boat and captured by the police , they will be sent back to China.
A great photo series from French designer and photographer "Defco" which detail the always interesting streets of Bangkok. These are the kind of places you would often find me wandering around during any stay in the city.
