| 23rd September 2009 Adrienne Pilon | Nice blog - From: These toilets are for customer use only Great photos, good text. Thanks for posting. If I get to NZ I'll be sure to look back at your blog. |
| 6th September 2009 Jeff | Interesting title - From: Stiletto culture "These incredible shoes" is right. I found your article in a search for an online vendor of Russian (or East European) stiletto shoes and boots, which are unlike anything being made in the West. I read your entire article, hoping you would say more about them beyond your first half paragraph. Interesting glimpse into post-Soviet life, and great photos as others have written, but not quite to the point with respect to my current topic of interest, as you may have by now gathered. While I have managed to find some photos (and even a video clip) of said beauties in their incredible stilettos, a source of the stilettos themselves still eludes me. |
| 25th August 2009 Graciela | amazing - From: A hardening of the heart in the land of the economic miracle. I havenīt been to India yet. I donīt have time to read the whole blog but I have had a look at the pictures which are fabulous, great work. It seems India is full of colour and surprises. A friend of mine said the South is much spectacular that the north. I donīt know yet. |

| 2nd July 2009 Jay | RE:Sunset, Rajasthan - From: Agra-phobia This picture is Beautiful, I wish i could see a sun set like that where i live! the only problem is theres too many buildings to see a sunset from where i am, and i doubt it would ever look as beautiful as that does :( |
| 29th May 2009 Graciela | falls - From: The unbearable tightness of Lycra Great pics. The Iguazú Falls pictures belong to the Argentine side of the falls. They are in the limit between both countries. In my opinion, the best infrastructure to see the falls is in the Argentine side. Love, Graciela. |
| 14th May 2009 Gune | - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. I'm Sri Lankan, and love travelling both at home at outside - wondered through about 20 countries. To enjoy travel tales about your own country is rare as often you feel that the writter is not accurate or too arrogent/opinionated. Especially for a country as complex as ours. Your travel page i have tagged as a 'favourite' in my computer and read it off and on when needing a bit of a 'pick - me -up' . |
| 17th April 2009 Breon | im a monkey - From: And the lonely sailors laid with seals, believing them to be mermaids. I just want to give you a recent comment so you know your page is stilled graced upon. Really really wonderful. My son used your page for his lit. Bio paper, and he loves your postings. :) ya rock. |
| 27th February 2009 Alex Lopez | Great Eye - From: The unbearable tightness of Lycra Awesome pics! |
| 24th November 2008 Carly | - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" CONGRATULATIONS! I wish you all the happiness in the world. I just read the blog...I think it was 'lovelyplanet'. I followed you as you travelled around the world a couple of years ago. Your pictures were spectacular. |
| 21st October 2008 erin | Wonderful Photographs - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" Your photographs are beautiful! I am in New Delhi right now. Trying to take pictures in such a hazy/smoggy environment is challenging. Do you have any tips on how to take better pictures despite the hazy? |
| 2nd September 2008 Ricardo | Very nice... - From: Who'd be a duck in Peking Hello, I'm Ricardo from Portugal. I heard about you guys before, but I never came to visit your site, I have to say that I'm very impressed with the quality of your fotos... you'll never know, some day we may cross paths, because I'm a traveller my self... wish you guys all the best, and carry on the good work. Stay lucky. |
| 8th July 2008 Prad | superb piece - From: Agra-phobia you have captured India so beautifully, both in words and through your lenses. I have been to almost all the places mentioned in your blog, and I must say that you present a picture that makes me feel like visiting the places all over again. thanks for such a beautiful entry. |
| 20th June 2008 ajay sharma | The next step.... - From: Agra-phobia Hey! your work is inspiring to say the least.....I am making a 60 minutes film on 'female foeticide' and its story travels to and fro between the sleepy rustic ambience of a village in Rajasthan to a space mission by NASA where Kalpana Chawla was killed. Can't tell you more....at this stage. I think if you can take out 40 days in Sept-Oct 2008...then I offer you to work on the 'coffee table book' and stills of our movie. I am doing this project with an Australian Lady and we want to participate in the Cannes Festival in 2009..besides others. We are not on a big budget...but we have a big heart...and an open mind! cheers!! ajay sharma 91-11-9971722022 |
| 5th June 2008 Priyanka | Awesome Pics!!! - From: Agra-phobia hey!!!! just been thru ur pics.......they r really cool......i loved each n everyone of them.......i have never been to Agra but after seeing the pics really feel like going out there. |
| 2nd May 2008 xoxogirl44 | - From: Agra-phobia you have amazing photos of india |
| 15th April 2008 peter fernando | sri lanka -by a mixed tamil/singhalese - From: A gentle introduction to the madness of beauty. fantastic write up on sri lanka,a country steeped in history and blessed with beauty.Sadly,most people in sri lanka have somehow forgotten their history.I agree with the comment about the conflict.By describing myself as a mixed tamil/singhalese I venture into a whole new arena.In sri lanka in common with many other countries there is no concept of mixed race as between difference ethinicities.May be the solution to sri lanka's conflict is to welcome more races -when i lived there we had english neigbours on one side and muslim Indian's on the other.Both our neighbours migrated to USA!! |
| 9th April 2008 two4deroad | Pictures that tell a story - From: The unbearable tightness of Lycra Hi, I like how your pictures tell a story all by them selves. Have you been able to get hooked on any ' telenovela's' while you where there. I hear they are great! Enjoy the rest of your trip |
| 7th April 2008 Cumberland Sausage | To Hap - From: These toilets are for customer use only Canon EOS 20D |
| 2nd April 2008 Hap | Wow - From: These toilets are for customer use only Great blog and pictures. I am also curious as to what kind of camera you are using? |
| 11th March 2008 Katalin | Trully Amazing - From: Agra-phobia Your pictures are fantastic. India is great if you spend enough time and let it touch you. I'm glad you shared your story with us. It's good to see the world trough your eyes : ) |
| 5th March 2008 Row | Fantastic Images! - From: Apple Museum? No, we spent too long at the Jam Factory Your photos are truly superb! What's your secrets? cheers Rowan |
| 28th February 2008 Marlisa in the Keys | So, what happened with the penguin? - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" Minu and I are soulmates; I have not much to add to her comment. My lust for travel will remain unsatisfied except for suggestive sites like these, at least for the time being, but knowing that you have not only been to these places but have done such a marvelous job of documenting it salves my envy somewhat. Thanks for sharing! |
| 28th February 2008 Me in the Monsoons | You have movement in your words - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" Although I have been blogging for some time now, I never really used travelblog to read other people's tales; I'm glad I stumbled across you two in my first escapade through the entire website! Great writing - I love your style and your depth. It makes me feel like I am right there with you... |
| 8th February 2008 Toby and Em | - From: Pokerface shows his hand Very cool pics - keep them coming! |
| 5th February 2008 Denis ANANIADIS | Great work - From: The multicoloured slop swap You can see by the faces on the people that you are no tourist!, you are a man who loves the world of capturing that right moment. The favellas in my experience have always been the heart of Brazil! keep up those great pics!!! |
| 11th January 2008 Doug and Bec | My piece of heaven - From: Apple Museum? No, we spent too long at the Jam Factory As a Tasmanian native now living about as far away as possible, your blog, and photos in particular, pay true homage to my beautiful state. Thank you for doing it justice. All your blogs are fabulous but it's your pictures are what really make it - are you selling them?! |
| 10th December 2007 barrygahan | Just a thought... - From: The Hand of God Should you really be writing about (and hence encouraging others) crossing no-entry signs and wandering off path in the National Park. I don't want this to sound like I'm on my high-horse here, but from what we've seen in Argentina, many of the paths and parks have been ruined by irresponsible trekkers who ignore these signs. Other than that, I think your blog is excellent - great descriptions and fantastic photos. |
| 21st November 2007 Chi | - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" Wow, beautiful photos!!! :) |
| 13th November 2007 Occasionally Bob | Higher salaries for sheep in NZ... - From: These toilets are for customer use only Sheep are emigrating to Australia for the higher salaries? Who'd have thought it... Just planning our assault on NZ and your blog has lots of very useful information and beautiful photos so I just wanted to say thank you very much! Happy travels, Vikki. |
| 6th November 2007 Isa and Phil | - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" I read your blogs with great pleasure and was every time amazed by your wonderful pictures. I also dreamed i met you in cuzco and we drunk some beers all together, even if i never traveled there! Real travel-inspirator-icon! (don't know if this word exists, my english is mostly spoken...) ;) Have a nice day! Hope your taking your bag soon on your shoulder again, so we can read about your trip again! |
| 30th October 2007 Hem | Nice blog - From: Agra-phobia Hi, I just ran into your blog after clicking on the Taj Mahal's photo on the main page. I am from India (currently in US) and have lived in the state of Uttar Pradesh (where Agra is) and Delhi for nealy 20 yrs and had never visited the Taj Mahal!! Now I am in the US and visiting places here! Your blog about your north Indian experiences are truly interesting. 15-20 yrs ago, there were not many tourists coming to India but now it is steadily becoming a popular tourist destination among the adventurous. Stories of people pestering you for money is quintessential lower middle class India where people are not ashamed of trying to make a quick buck out of the hapless tourist. I wonder what you guys (from US, UK) think of such experiences. Are they always annoying or they add something to the experience that is India? Anyway, the blog transported me to Agra and the Taj for some moments! |
| 24th October 2007 the wilderness years | and once more..! - From: The biggest bang since the big one amazing photographs! really really great shots, fantastic, well done! |
| 21st September 2007 Trevor | WOW! - From: These toilets are for customer use only What an amazing blog! Great photos! What type of camera did you use? |
| 11th July 2007 Yathi | - From: "The pool is open" WOW!!! Im inspired. Gotta sign up for scuba instruction classes this summer. Great pics guys! |
| 27th June 2007 Tessa | Food for Thought - From: The burning ring of fire I enjoyed your interesting and thought-provoking journal entry and pictures. We've just come back to Australia after a trip that took in Huanglong and Juizhaigo, and two years ago visited Xian and Xiahe. This was my sixth trip to China and it's always fascinating, there is very little I find dull (apart from the obligatory shopping stops at South Sea Pearl or other rip-off showrooms). From the last comment you will realize that our trips were package tours. They were reasonably priced and as nearly everything was prepaid we didn't have the kind of mark-up and extortion troubles you described (or at least we didn't know about them). I agree that this kind of thing is obviously a problem in China and I'm sorry if our type of travel may be making things worse. But I'm not sure what we can do. Perhaps if enough people complain (but to who?) and refuse to give in to extortion, then things may improve, but don't hold your breath. |
| 3rd June 2007 Sparkie | - From: Elephants stole my underpants ... Whenever I click on a photo I like it turns out to be yours so I thought I would just drop you a line to say that your photos are stunning! good work. Sam |
| 11th May 2007 Beckie | Wow! - From: The biggest bang since the big one Can I just say your photos are absolutely out of this world!!! I bet you get messages like this all the time but i just had to give you another one!!!!!!! x |
| 5th May 2007 Minu | - From: "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar" A friend suggested I go through your blog. Just did. I am unimaginably envious of the two of you, this moment. Your photographs are outstanding (are these skills trasferrable or infectious? Can I have some please???) and you are absolutely lucky to have been to the palces you've been to (which is just about everywhere!). I'm sure you have a lot to do with making these travels happen, but I say 'lucky' because I feel like a million bucks when I get the opportunity to be somewhere truly breathtaking or experience something out of this world, within this world. I bet you'll agree. You just inspired me to stay put with my 'vagabond plan'. Thank you. |
| 24th April 2007 Brigette | Novel - From: These toilets are for customer use only Guys...thats a novel!! amazing photos, Illhave to come back to read the rest on my next break from work...keep them coming! love your blogs. Brigette |
| 14th April 2007 rocinhajj | Rocinha - From: The unbearable tightness of Lycra you go in my place Rocinha a minha querida! Amu seus fotos mano..legal! rocinhajj@yahoo.com.br |
| 7th April 2007 grace | wow..great insight - From: Agra-phobia Once again, your blog has managed to keep me up way past my bedtime... this one was by far one of my favs. Your insight, comprehension and knowledge of India was very inspiring to read (and it's quite ironic b/c I had a long talk with a Nepali-Indian today about India's economic situation and imbalance). I'm definitely checking out your book recommendations. Reading this blog interests me to learn and seek more about this nation of contradictions. I sometimes feel like I want to just escape from here, while other times I want to embrace the goodness it has to offers. I think that this entry has created a better understanding of the things that causes me so much frustration and confusion about this country. Thanks for taking the time to share your inspiring outlook and honesty. You have such a gift... in both the visual and logical way of seeing things, and transcending that for others to understand. |
| 22nd March 2007 Leon | Great Photos - From: These toilets are for customer use only Awesome photos man - one thing but with regards to going into the wild underprepared - surely that boils down to personal responsibility! |
| 22nd March 2007 Jessica | Incredible Photos! - From: These toilets are for customer use only Your photos are amazing! Reallly beautiful. My own photography skills are so pitiful that I won't have much to show when I finish my RTW trip on Tuesday. I couldn't resist giving you a kudos for yours, however. Well, time to hit the couch of my friend here in Normandy, France. Have an amazing trip! |
| 12th March 2007 Anon | Re: - From: "The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by." You're mistaken. Those Western women that do it, some of them are most likely doing it to get drug money. |
| 8th March 2007 ailee | - From: These toilets are for customer use only omg....these photos are f*cking amazing!! they say photos neva do justice, but i'm prepared to overrule the statement!! |
| 28th February 2007 JC | Nice thought ! - From: "The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by." A well written blog... it is objective & thought-provoking. Moral decays in Western and Asian society is unspeakable. The difference is choice. Western women chose to do it FREELY for FUN while asian prostitutes are doing it to SURVIVE. |
| 19th February 2007 Rupankar | Simply beautiful - From: Agra-phobia Most of your photos are simply beautiful. I wanted to have a look on the shots pf Rajasthan, but ended up finshing the entire lot. Great photography! |
| 18th February 2007 Corax | Queer Bird? - From: On the road with Maximum Velocidad Your "Queer bird" is called a Caracara - probably a Crested Caracara. It's a bird of prey, similar to a hawk or eagle, that prefers to stick close to the ground. Also a very pretty bird, and a good picture too! |
