As people interfere with nature (and vice-versa) there is some
overlap between some galleries in the collections, as there is also
some overlap among photographs in the galleries.

MY PROFILE My goals are to enjoy nature and contact with local people and cultures, photograph what I enjoy, and selling it by necessity (to fulfill the first two goals, and to sustain my family). My specialty is to travel to remote, little known places not yet affected by the stressful pace of modern life.Currently I photograph the Cerrado (savannas) and the rural people (small farmers, cowboys) of the Central Brazil Highlands. I photographed mostly in Africa and in Latin America, with one trip in Malaysian Borneo.
I was born in Belgium. I started traveling extensively in Africa, then in Latin America. I lived a few years in the United States (Los angeles and New York), a couple of years in Venezuela in the Guiana Highlands, photographing Indian tribes and Angel Falls and, since 1978, in Belém at the mouth of the Amazon in Brazil, taking pictures mostly of the rainforest, also of the savannas, tourist destinations, aspects of the economy.
Other interests are growing plants collected during my trips, mostly from the rainforests and savannas; jazz, especially the period that started at Minton´s Playhouse in Harlem in 1941, when Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie and others created a form of jazz initially called bebop that had its apogee in the fifties and continued into the sixties, best known, perhaps, by the work of Miles Davis; and automobile racing which I photographed during its golden age (the years of Jim Clark) from 1967 until 1971 (Formula 1, Le Mans, CAN AM) and that now I follow as a TV spectator; now I photograph the Rally dos Sertoes in Brazil.
RECENT TRAVEL AND FUTURE TRIPS Short trip to Brazilian Highland February 2 to February 11, and certainly in April-May and in August (this year the Rally dos Sertões will be in August and will go from Goiania through northern Minas Gerais, western Bahia and will end in Fortaleza). As always, much Photoshop to do before going, optimizing my website, marking my presence on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
