Hello out there,

I recently found out that I have visited roughly 140 different countries until 2000 (analog photography) and 30 countries from 2001 up to now (digital photography). My job as Export Director was the trigger for my excessive traveling (retired since 2018). I have been pursuing photography as a hobby since 1975

I visited most of the countries on business trips in the pre-digital time, means I need to get my slides scanned.

Still do both: Analog 6x6 (Mamiya-6, Rollei SL66) as well as digital (Canon full frame and Fujifilm X).

My favourite destinations as far as photography is concerned, are the deserts of the world such as:

Sonora, Az; Sahara, Africa; Arabian Desert, Saudi Arabia; Tharr desert, India & Pakistan; Karakum desert, Turkmenistan etc.....

My favourite countries for travelling are Kyrgyzstan, Chile, Costa Rica and Georgia (country). Hospitality there is unique, very friendly, smart and well educated people there, great nature and history, excellent food and exotic drinks............

I also like the United States and Canada.

i enjoy my retirement in Suan Son Beach south of Bangkok in the land of smiles.
