Another very interesting day in Hanoi, visiting many many places including museums, the water puppet show and more before having dinner with our good friends. Only one more day and then it is back to Europe...

Everybody seems to be eating all the time... on every spot in Vietnam we have been (Hanoi and the way to and from Halong Bay) you see these little eating places, with very small chairs...
The internet connection is very slow, so only the first pictures are at my Flickr account...

A fantastic couple of days of photographing in Vietnam with our Vietnamese friends. Spectacular scenery and people. Highlight Halong Bay...

Hanoi is a busy busy city with many scooters... Zebra stripes on the road do not seem to have any meaning and you have to carefully cross the road, otherwise someone will hit you...

Tomorrow we go with award winning Vietnamese photographer Do Anh Tuan for two days shooting in the country side and to Halong bay....I am really looking forward to that.

Arrived in Hanoi!

The scenery around the temples around Siem Reap is amazing... Especially from on top of an elephant...

It was very special to see my pictures displayed very large at the Angkor Photo Festival.... hundreds of people coming to see the work of the VII class. Afterwards we discussed each other's work and Philip showed us the opus magnum he is working on....beautiful...

16 photographers reading themselves for the final presentation tonight....

Lots of festivities going on here with the boat races right out of the door of the FCC...

Photo reporters make long days, I can tell now from experience. A project requires lots of research, taking shots, editing, trying to find better shots, creating a story line and more...My project is no exception and has made me do long, long days... I am not complaining though as it is great fun and I learn a lot from it.
Gary and Philip share with us many of their stories, what they were facing and how they solved it....

The place I am staying in, is next to the river. The boat races will start in a week and training is in full swing...
Another great day in Cambodia with lots of development in the masterclass....Philip is pushing me to do more with less....Challenging but rewarding indeed...

The masterclass has started yesterday evening with a great dinner near the temples. This morning we went out to explore them, which was truly fascinating. During the dinner yesterday and during the day today, I got to talk a lot to PHILIP BLENKINSOP who will work with me during this week on my project. We all got our projects sorted, I am happily working on mine...

Buzzing around on mopeds, feels like Amsterdam :)
I am trying to get better ideas for the project....moving around for inspiration....

After a long but relatively comfortable journey (especially the food at the Ho Chi Minh Airport being very nice) over Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh to I arrived at final destination Siem Reap for the VIIPhoto Masterclass. Straight from the airport I entered the first of probably many TukTuk rides...

We got the pioneers together in the internet and music industry at two special locations in Amsterdam. We started at Spoiled to move on later to Waldorf. A great and buzzing KINKFM evening with music, food and drinks and lots of great guests.... I think we will do it again ;)

The Veronica young talent day was held in a special location; the El Hema exhibition at Mediamatic, an inspiring session at an inspiring location....

Time flies....Arnau is already four years old....

Talking about the music business and radio. I now know why last.fm is radio and not a collection of tracks that you can play like a cd...

Discussing investments for Dutch Creative Industry Fund...

The Ipan evening was all about women and interactivity/internet, with women MP3reporters from V-radio. A challenging theme that set the discussion on fire....the full set is here

It is getting chilly again and the days are becoming shorter and shorter. Nice opportunity to spend time with friends...

Strategy weekends should be held in true outdoor environments.....
