Dominica, Roseau

‘The Nature Island’ is what the Dominicans call their island. And it is very beautiful indeed. I never have a lot of time to explore the places I visit, but because of the total tranquility on Sunday I had a chance to go whale watching. Sperm whales and Humpbacks are frequently spotted, as are several types of dolphins. I saw many Sperm whales. These majestic animals humble me again every time I seen them.

The Relaxed Caribbean lifestyle

Of course I was in Dominica for photos and like the rest of the Caribbean islands not much is going on. For me this may be unnerving, being a city boy, and for photography far from easy, but for the Dominicans it’s very typical for the relaxed Caribbean way of life.

When I asked why absolutely nothing was going on, a few local guys told me I should try to relax a bit more. They said I should try to photograph exactly what it was like on the island: The relaxed Caribbean lifestyle. I agreed. And tried.

Streets of the World: A five
year project traveling to ALL
countries in the world
to photograph street life
in the centre of all capitals.

"For the first time in history it is
possible to visit all countries in
the world in a free, transparent
and fast way.

It's possible; therefore I want to
see and do it. I want to find out
what the world looks like in
our time. How far have we come,
how much are we alike and
how different are we. I want to
meet the people of my time.
To capture a small
part, but a part
indeed of their
lives."
