Cock-fighting is a highly important ancient custom in Balinese culture dating back to at least before the 10th century. The death of a rooster leads to 'tabuh rah' (spilling of blood) which is used as a sacrifice to appease evil spirits. No religious ceremony in a temple may commence until the blood of at least three sabung (roosters) has been spilled on the ground.

Image was taken in Bali during Melasti Festival. This festival is conducted once a year in conjunction with Nyepi or Silent Day. These young girls wait for their turn to perform. They looked stunning with their bright coloured costumes and heavy make-up on, however the expression on each of the girls' faces (especially the yawning girl) gives this image an extra "ummpph"

This photograph was taken in Walvis Bay, Namibia. This couple of pelicans were quite the attraction on the boat! Two tourist were obstinate about photographing those birds. Finally they were just looking the same.

I want to explore how self-portraiture for many people has become an obsession, and how presence in a self-portrait situation is absent, or becomes a peculiar part of the selfie act. This can lead to absurd situations and my project is a play around such situations.

Four centimeters of mightiness that moves slowly and relentlessly on a tree, while the moon rises on the background. The rhinoceros beetle is a nocturnal insect: during the day they stay safe under the cortex of the trees and with the summer, they become very active, flying at dusk to find a mate.
