Lately my daily routine has been working for Amazon as a Receiver at the dock in Inbound. Pictured here a Buckeye buck.. Sharpie , box cutter and safety vest. It gets pretty physical on the dock. But I look at like I am being paid to work out. :)
Bhaktapur is a city where time seemed to have stood still. The 2015 earthquake caused extensive damage to the historic structures, including temples and traditional Newari buildings. Even the renowned Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a major tourist attraction, suffered substantial destruction. The lives of the local residents were deeply affected, with loss of life, injuries, and displacement being the tragic outcomes. The cultural and economic facets of the city were also heavily influenced, as tourism played a crucial role in Bhaktapur's income. When we were there in April 2023, we were impressed by the progress that has been made to restore and rebuild all damaged structures. As we ventured through the winding narrow streets that guided us towards the famous square, we were just like in Lalitpur and Kathmandu impressed by the intricate carvings adorning the wooden buildings and the vibrant energy of local life. I tried to capture some candid street shots, freezing fleeting moments in time that revealed the very soul of this extraordinary place – Bhaktapur, Nepal
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.
captured at a cheese shop in viktualienmarkt, this photograph beautifully juxtaposes the rush of modern life with the timeless allure of artisanal goods. a man hurries up a staircase, his reflection merging with the display of golden cheese wheels in the shop window. his obliviousness to the charming scene underscores the contrast between the fleeting nature of our daily routines and the enduring beauty that often goes unnoticed.
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.

A cold February morning in Ghent, under the Vlaamsekaai bridge along the kleine ring, where cyclists push through the chill on their daily commute. The early light, the long shadows, and the textured walls make for a perfect monochrome moment.
Ghent, Belgium
in the flux of passeig de gràcia, a metro car streaks by, a red canvas blurring lines between here and there. people anchor the frame, still against the streak of color, immersed in their thoughts, conversations, and devices. some stand in anticipation, others seek comfort in the benches—each a singular story, a private contemplation. the station is a crossroad of journeys, of pauses and departures, where the stillness of waiting contrasts with the swift passage of time. it's an urban tableau, a fleeting intersection of lives in motion, captured in the rhythm of barcelona's heartbeat.
'Living in the Daily Flow of News', July 2017, 2'08mn
This short video can be seen as a reaction to our 'brave new world' filled with disconnected bits of information. Constantly updated news are overwhelming our daily life.

I have been wanting to try some 'splash' photography for a while now and this week's Macro Monday challenge provided the perfect opportunity as my daily routine starts with a bowl of cereals covered in ice-cold milk!
Technical: I poured milk into a 9-inch square, deep-sided dish to a depth of about 1/2 inch. I poured about a glass of milk into a small sandwich bag and suspended the bag above the dish and then poked a small hole into the sandwich bag to begin the stream of drips. My first attempt at poking a hole was a bit of a disaster as I was a tad over-zealous in the 'poking' and managed to push the pin right through the bag thereby creating a hole on both sides, which was also too large, and resulted in two streams of milk pouring onto the kitchen worktop and making quite a mess; luckily Mrs R was out for the afternoon! My second attempt was more 'delicate' and resulted in a single, smaller hole from which the milk dripped rather than poured. These drips were too fast to start with but slowed to a steady (and predictable) rate after a few moments (set up and camera / flash settings inspired by watching a YouTube video featuring Gavin Hoey - very helpful and saved me LOADS of time in wasted effort!). I had my off-camera flash positioned above the dish and bounced onto a white floor tile erected behind the milk dish to back-light and freeze the motion. The flash was set to 1/16 power. Then it was a case of trial and error with a hit-rate of about 1 in 4 keepers. This one I liked because it filled the frame and had some nice contrast and shapes.
Happy Macro Monday, everyone.

Palm Trees, Blue Skies, and the Flight of Routine
🌴✈️
Each day began with the same promise: clear skies, warm air, and the slow walk toward the beach park. The kids knew the way by heart, racing ahead with towels flapping like flags of freedom. Parents followed with sunscreen and snacks, already picturing the shade beneath the palms and the laughter echoing off the water.
Above, a plane traced the sky—someone arriving, someone leaving—but down below, time moved differently. The routine became sacred: swim, snack, nap, repeat. And in that rhythm, the family found something rare. Not just relaxation, but connection.
Months later, when the calendar fills and the pace quickens, this memory returns. The sound of waves, the rustle of palm fronds, the feeling of being exactly where they were meant to be. Because paradise isn’t just a place—it’s a pattern, shared and remembered.
perched tranquilly on a sunlit balcony, a lone figure enjoys the simple pleasure of a relaxed breakfast. in this colorful snapshot of village life, he embodies a moment of peace amidst the touristic bustle. his attention, seemingly captured by the pages before him, suggests a morning ritual enriched by reflection or the day's news. the scene is a quiet ode to those solitary instances of contentment, where the first meal of the day offers not just sustenance but a pause to savor the slow awakening of the world around.

This is a photo I took out the window this morning of Stu and Shizandra returning home from their walk. He takes her to the park where they play ball every morning.
Stepping off the boat, we were surrounded by daily life on Tonlé Sap Lake. A fisherman carried his nets, a woman balanced baskets of goods, and boats waited to head out. This is the rhythm of Cambodia’s floating villages.
Here, the lake is everything—a road, a market, and a source of livelihood. Every boat ride, every trade, and every moment on the water shows the resilience and adaptability of the people who live here.
