Local Style Ladies in Huancayo Peru

Gorgeous, Sri Lanka

Just Gorgeous, 

her sisters and little brother where trying to look

at me the whole time and although 

I thought they where great fun, 

I was really keen on making a photo of her. 

After an hour I believe they finally got bored,

or just got used to me : )

Lebo in Soweto

Love it, creativity & dedication, Lebo is really creating a future

for many people in Soweto, see his website

Boy in Huyancayo Hill Station, New Years Day

The owner of the hostel was so kind to take us

to his family in the hills for new years day,  

dramatic scenery, beautiful light, dancing with the family

Mr.Duck

 I bought Mr.Duck in Huancayo, in the mountains of Peru. Coming november my boyfriend Julian and I are moving to Melbourne, Australia and for a second there was a doubt if I was allowed to bring the duck to Australia, as Mr. Duck is made from a pumpkin....Lucky enough... as long as we took out the seeds there should be no problem at customs. All our belongings are on the boat now, and I am hoping Mr.Duck willmake it through customs!!

Near Cusco, Peru

Proud and shy, 

how I love all these pastels together

India Hampi

In hampi there are many kids, playing, running, laughing,

they all want pencils for their schools,

walking out of the house with a big knife

Old Buddhist Temple Statues, Galle, Sri Lanka

In Galle, Sri Lanka, is a store which sells vintage
Buddhist Temple Statues,

made of wood, mostly with bladdering paint.

We went to this store two times in the 5 weeks
we where in Sri Lanka,

and this statue got sold for 6000 Dollars
by an American Man

who would ship it to his home in America.

Peruvian Embroidery Skirts

Love the colors & the patterns

Huyancayo Hill Station, Peru, Knitted Cardigans

 This is still one of my favourite photo's,

she was such a charming and sweet lady,
she felt totally confident posing

 

Everywhere in Peru you see lady's with cardigans made

from soft Alpaca, often with a matching sweater below.

This sales lady holds the whipping cords

What a beautiful style,

Bangalore accessoires neighbourhood

The manufacturer accessoires neighbourhood

in Bangalore, it is smelly, crowded and dodgy,

but here you find a lot you want as a designer,

except for the cows and cow shit.
