Travel Peru : Exploring Andean Culture in the unknown Andes (and a bit of the jungle)

How great it feels to be out exploring for the purpose of photography again! Peru is so incredible and so unique in this regard. The geographical diversity is like nowhere I’ve been, but above all, the Andean people and their culture… What I regularly see here is special.

Into the unknown & Chasing Holy light in the mountains of Armenia

Into the unknown & Chasing Holy light in the mountains of Armenia

It felt like going back in time. A strangely familiar sensation. Soviet cars everywhere, clearly still from Soviet times. I hadn’t seen so many since I was a child back in the USSR. And then there were ruins of ancient monasteries and fortresses. Every few kilometres I’d come across more ruins. Familiar and at the same time – mysterious. This was my first impression of Armenia.
