Jinato Hu" In Dec 2010, I, along with 3 friends, went for a 10 days long coastal road ride to 2 south indian states of Tamilnadu and Kerala. Starting from Bangalore, karnataka, we drove through popular destinations in Tamilnadu, such as Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry, Trichi and Madurai to the famous hindu pilgrimage located between indian peninsula and Sri Lanka, known as Rameswaram or Pamban Island, and spent ample amount of time at this holy place, walking, beach trekking, mountain biking.

From Song Sokheng, who channels two childlike spirits, to a sorcerer who relies on numerology (and a healthy respect for authority) to care for nine wives and their children, Vanishing Act contains eye-opening accounts of traditions that face an uncertain future.

A love poem and images that depict an alternative view of affection and intimacy

For the series "Be twisted" I was heavily influenced by the inkblots by Rorschach. I got the idea during my graduation project in 2010 at the photography college in Venlo. Instead of taking standard landscapes and portraits, I wanted to do something different, create something more profound. By mirroring my images you can look at my pictures in a different way and see things that other people do, or do not see. It often has to do with how you feel when you are looking at the images. It can even intensify a certain feeling. I have chosen to use different elements in this publication, like colour, black and white, nature, objects, close-ups, landscapes and also apply these techniques to humans and animals. It makes it a light-hearted series. The project is ongoing and from time to time new works will be published. The photographs in the series have not been given a title so they leave more to the imagination.

Más de 300.000 libros vendidos! El Génesis, los siete días, la Creación... ¿de dónde procede el texto que compone la primera parte de La Biblia? ¿Es su texto sólo un poema introductorio... o es una narración? ¿Que hay detrás de sus palabras? Alberto Canen ha encontrado un camino alternativo para dar respuestas a estas y a otras preguntas contenidas en el Génesis. Ha hallado una ruta por la que nadie había transitado antes e invita al lector a recorrerla y a realizar con él sus hallazgos. El autor ha descubierto que oculto en el fondo de la trama existe alguien. Alguien que observa, alguien que narra. Alguien que narra lo que observa. Y un lugar, un sitio desde el cual observa. La ubicación del observador. La clave de un apasionante rompecabezas. El Génesis ha sido un misterio por miles de años. No se había podido comprender de que hablaba el texto. Si era sólo un poema introductorio a las Sagradas Escrituras, o si realmente contenía información acerca de la Creación. El texto del Génesis dividió las aguas de creacionistas y cientificistas durante mucho tiempo hasta el día de hoy. Con este libro espero que esta separación entre cientificistas y creacionistas se diluya ya que he descubierto la clave que unifica ambos mundos. Creo que la clave del misterio de Génesis es comprender que es narrado por alguien. Un narrador del Génesis. El que observa la visión que Dios le entrega y a partir de allí narra lo que observa y lo observa desde su ubicación humana y terrenal. Esta ubicación terrenal y precisa es la llave para comprender el Génesis.
