Vietnam is all about good food, hot weather, fresh rice paddies, mad traffic and affordable luxury. I teamed up with travel companion Sarah to tour the country from Phu Quoc in the south to Halong Bay in the north.
Every January, Aucklanders celebrate the Auckland Anniversary Weekend with a waterfront festival. The highlight of the weekend is a massive fireworks display over the Waitemata Harbour.
Paul and Kirsty got hitched in early 2008. I had the privilege of attending the wedding as a guest, with not a responsibility in the world. However, with everyone dressed up and absolutely beaming, a few shots had to be snapped.
I went for a road trip around California in mid-2007, together with the very wonderful and famous Michelle. Was far too relaxed to get much photography done, but this gallery should give you a sense of the California atmosphere.
In early 2007, I finally managed to get enough time off work for a road trip around New Zealand's ridiculously pretty South Island. Many thousand photos were taken over a span of three weeks—but here is a small sampler.
It seems that every year, the New Zealand summer takes longer to arrive. As a result, I tend to find myself desperate for some tropical beach action towards the end of the year. In 2006, Fiji's remote Yasawa Islands provided the cure.
As above, but a year earlier, and for Western Samoa. Teamed up with travel buddy Joel and went in search of remote locations still untouched by mass tourism.
I moved to New Zealand in 2002 and spent the first few months being awestruck by what the country had to offer. This sampler was mostly created to annoy all my friends back in Sweden—and it has met or exceeded the design specifications on all accounts. Caution: Some of the material in this gallery may contain explicit depictions of Pacific beaches, sun-kissed bays and tropical vegetation. Dwellers of northern Europe should proceed with caution.
After finishing my MSc degree in Sweden, I teamed up with a trio of friends and shot off to Southeast Asia for some serious R&R. We toured Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and snapped plenty of shots along the way.
