Sno is a village in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of northern Georgia, located in the historical province of Khevsureti. The local economy is mainly based on traditional agriculture and livestock farming. Farmers in this region are mainly engaged in breeding livestock, including cows, sheep and goats. Livestock farming in Sno plays a crucial role in the daily life of the community. Cows are kept for the production of milk, meat and dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, which are used both for home consumption and for sale in local markets. Traditional methods of livestock farming and agriculture have often been passed down from generation to generation, helping to preserve cultural practices and knowledge in the region. Sno’s remote location and mountainous terrain sometimes make modern farming methods challenging, leading many farmers to stick to traditional techniques. Despite this, there are efforts to increase agricultural productivity and improve farmers’ living standards through education and access to better resources. Keeping cows and other livestock in Sno is not only an economic activity, but also an integral part of the social and cultural fabric of the community, with traditional knowledge and practices playing an important role in the daily lives of the residents.
This photo taken in Sno, Georgia shows a serene mountainous valley where cows rest in the golden grassland. The rolling hills and rugged mountains in the background reflect the untouched nature of the region. The autumnal hues of the landscape create a warm, peaceful atmosphere. The cows, scattered across the field, emphasize the traditional pastoral life that is still central here. The image exudes harmony between man, animal and nature in this remote part of the Caucasus.
Sno is een dorp in de regio Mtscheta-Mtianeti in het noorden van Georgië, gelegen in de historische provincie Chevsoeretië. De lokale economie is voornamelijk gebaseerd optraditionele landbouw en veeteelt. Boeren in deze regio houden zich vooral bezig met het fokken van vee, waaronder koeien, schapen en geiten. De veehouderij in Sno speelt een cruciale rol in het dagelijks leven van de gemeenschap. Koeien worden gehouden voor de productie van melk, vlees en zuivelproducten zoals kaas en yoghurt, die zowel voor eigen consumptie als voor verkoop op lokale markten worden gebruikt. De traditionele methoden van veeteelt en landbouw zijn vaak doorgegeven van generatie op generatie, wat bijdraagt aan het behoud van culturele praktijken en kennis in de regio. De afgelegen ligging en het bergachtige terrein van Sno maken moderne landbouwmethoden soms uitdagend, waardoor veel boeren vasthouden aan traditionele technieken. Desondanks zijn er inspanningen om de landbouwproductiviteit te verhogen en de levensstandaard van de boeren te verbeteren door middel van educatie en toegang tot betere middelen. Het houden van koeien en andere vee in Sno is niet alleen een economische activiteit, maar ook een integraal onderdeel van de sociale en culturele structuur van de gemeenschap, waarbij traditionele kennis en praktijken een belangrijke rol spelen in het dagelijks leven van de bewoners.
"One thing becomes clearer as one gets older and one's fishing experience increases, and that is the paramount importance of one's fishing companions. " - John Ashley-Cooper

Two stacked images. All the rooms are very dimly lit, if at all.
Snowshill Manor, Cotswolds, U.K.
The bathroom of Charles Wade:
Snowshill is no ordinary manor, as Charles Paget Wade was no ordinary Edwardian gentleman. Mr Wade embodied his family motto 'Let nothing perish', spending his life and inherited wealth amassing a spectacular collection of everyday and extraordinary objects. He bought each because of its colour, craftsmanship and design, restoring the ancient Cotswold manor house to display them. Laid out theatrically, the Manor is literally packed to the rafters with 22,000 or so unusual objects - from tiny toys to splendid suits of Samurai armour. The Manor is surrounded by an intriguing terraced.(Cotswold.com)
Not a big house, nor a small house, but just right for a small family who wants to be a stone throw away from the ocean and far enough away from the big city to keep it simple.
A simple life that we all yearn for.

In the floating villages of Tonlé Sap, the water isn’t just a place to fish—it’s a home, a road, and a way of life. While the stilt houses tower above, adapting to the lake’s rising and falling waters, small boats like this one are essential for daily routines—whether it's fishing, trading, or simply getting around.
It’s a world where life flows with the rhythm of the water, and every journey, no matter how small, is part of the lake’s ever-changing story.

A young woman enjoys her time in a rustic barn, engaging with playful goats while wearing a stylish hat and casual clothing. The warm atmosphere highlights the joyful moment.
Beyond the bustling streets of Siem Reap, life takes on a different rhythm. On Tonlé Sap Lake, homes float, boats serve as daily transport, and the water is both a lifeline and a way of life. A glimpse into the everyday reality of Cambodia, where tradition and resilience go hand in hand.

Often called "Gothic Bridge" because of its reference to Gothic design, it is officially known as Bridge No. 28. It was designed in 1864 and made of cast iron and steel. Spanning the bridle path between northern Reservoir and the tennis courts, it is one of the most impressive bridges designed by Calvert Vaux.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.

Riding Yangon’s charmingly decrepit Circle Line train in Myanmar was a great place to see the true essence of local life, capturing raw, candid portraits of the local people.
Built more than 60 years ago to connect rural suburbs to the city’s commercial heart, its trains move nearly 100,000 people a day. Some of the trains are Hungarian imports from the 1960s.

We left our hometown so early in the morning just to catch the sunrise and enjoy the bountiful harvest of the sea.
From this panoramic view, it's easy to see how Tonlé Sap Lake is more than just water—it’s a lifeline. Boats come and go, people wade through the shallows, and tuk-tuks wait at the riverbank, all part of the daily rhythm of Cambodia’s stilt house villages.
The lake’s ever-changing waters dictate the pace of life here. Whether fishing, trading, or traveling, everything revolves around the rise and fall of this vast freshwater ecosystem. It’s a world where land and water blur, creating a unique way of life found nowhere else.
Neighbors gather outside the front entrance of a small house with a front door that opens over a flowing irrigation ditch in a barangay located in Baliuag, Bulacan, Philippines.
We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor, a buzzing hub for travelers and culture lovers. But just beyond the city’s lively streets, another world unfolds. Exploring these outskirts offers a glimpse into local life, where wooden stilt houses, open fields, and dirt roads tell a different story of Cambodia.

WELL WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOIN'
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN
AND WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE KNOWIN'
BUT WE CAN'T SAY WHAT WE'VE SEEN
AND WE'RE NOT LITTLE CHILDREN
AND WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT
AND THE FUTURE IS CERTAIN
GIVE US TIME TO WORK IT OUT
I'm guessing that 77.8% of people will be singing the song now :)
I've made this one the new homepage image on my website
