On top of the world

One day I caught sight of Junior Nyirenda and his friends playing on the shores of Lake Malawi. Their laughter mingled with the rhythmic lapping of the waves as they ran barefoot through the warm sand. But it was Junior who caught my attention. He stood on a piece of driftwood in the middle of the water, his arms spread like a bird just spreading its wings.

I decided to capture him, not just in image, but also in feeling. This was not an ordinary moment. Junior, with his innocent confidence, seemed for a moment a king in his own world.

Cheers,

Two intriguing visitors in our garden

In our garden, a constant dynamic of insects and reptiles manifests itself, a microcosm imbued with movement and life. Yet the last months of last year were characterized by something special. Two Flap Necked Chameleons found their way to our garden and decided to stay there for a few weeks.

Their presence regularly gave me the opportunity to capture some images, with determination to document the unique characteristics of these intriguing inhabitants of sub-Saharan Africa. The Flap Necked Chameleons quickly became familiar sights in my observing world. With a head reminiscent of a dinosaur, they fascinated me with their rotating eyes, extendable tongue, colorful adaptations to the environment and the graceful way they moved.

But just as suddenly as they had arrived, both Flap Necked Chameleons disappeared overnight. Their absence left a void in our garden, but the photo sessions  served as lasting memories of the temporary guests who had given me a glimpse of their intriguing world.

Check out my new social media channels!

Months ago, I received the disheartening message that my Instagram account had been hacked. Refusing to give in to the hackers' demands, I had to say goodbye to my trusted online platform.

Now, finally, I found the time to make a fresh start. A brand new Instagram account was born, and I decided not to limit it to just that one platform. All previous social media channels have been recreated and I have expanded the channels further, giving me the opportunity to reach a wider audience.

There is currently little to discover and read on these channels, but I aim to add to them at least every two weeks, so that this will change quickly.

If you are curious about my adventure, I invite you to explore my new social media channels via the links below. Have fun and thanks for sharing this journey with me.

Cheers,
