Back from Borneo
A small update about my recent trip to Borneo. It has been a great trip, with many new stories to tell you soon here or in magazine around the world.
Borneo is such a diverse place, with plenty of nature around and just one month there in different places was just enough to scratch the surface of it.
Nonetheless I was back with some nice stories and it’s enough for now. Here’s a small (very small) selection of shots from there, that perhaps will give you a hint about how packed of life is that place.
I’m also working on new things like articles, books and scientific exhibitions, so stay tuned!
