Room with a view
1 May 2001 | ||

Hotel Okura
3 December 2001 | ||
 |
||
| In many Japanese hotel you are welcomed with a piece of Origami.... This hotel in Tokyo was fantastic, even if very expensive.... Lunch in one of the restaurants was around 150 USD.... | ||
Studying the design

Look from the hotel
25 March 2002 | ||

Room with a view
17 November 2002 | ||
 |
||
| My room was ready... Again after I had been here in May 2001, I was staying in the ANA Harbour hotel, where the conference also took place... This was the view from the window... Wow! I love Sydney! I had to squeeze myself into the window which is why I look like a hobbit in this photo.... | ||
Through the Mirror
22 November 2002 | ||
 |
||
| Shot through the mirror in the back of my room with 100mm and indirect flash.... Too bad that the setup took slightly too long and just seconds before this the sun had made the bridge golden.... | ||
Scott Monument and Balmoral
19 December 2002 | ||
 |
||
| The Building on the right is the Balmoral, Scotland's most prestigious hotel... | ||
Difficult Photo
31 August 2003 | ||
 |
||
| When I started taking this photo, I was stopped by security as the Saudi Royal Family arrived with 30 cars and buses and some hypernervous security guard assholes started aggressively pushing me away. It is a public square and I should be able to take photos and I didn't want any of them on my photo anyway. I waited and made some calm marks that their pea brains could make no reaction to and then shot this photo. The guy in front drove me home - he was way cool and commented on how idiotic the guards had behaved... | ||
Wastelands
7 October 2003 | ||
 |
||
| The area around Hurghada is terrible. Hotel after hotel and ruin after ruin as they ran out of cash after the Luxor shootings and September 11 and the Iraq war. Only the Russians still come in flocks... Good thing we were staying far away from this modern Tourist hell.... | ||
Edinburgh Sunset

A day later....
21 June 2006 | ||

Warm London Winter Day
1 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| View from the back of a new hotel secret tip I have - clean, friendly rooms near Earl's Court, sometimes for as low as 60 Euro per night. After more than enough really terrible overpriced places, I always return here. | ||
