About
People are the same everywhere; there are good and bad people in Uzbekistan, Sweden or Colombia. Circumstances may vary which is true even within a single country, city or neighborhood! 😉
During my travels (always on a tight budget) around the world mostly in the last century, I have found that there are more things that unite people than there are things that differ:
In all places of the world, people love, eat, sleep, drink, laugh and cry. We express and feel joy, sadness, loss, fear, grief, happiness, worry and a range of other emotions. but we all do that no matter where we are from.
Material and infrastructural circumstances may be different but people are more or less the same everywhere. Or should I say; we are all equally different.
My philosophy:
I try to live my life respecting people, animals and nature. That is why I grew my dreadlocks last century and still have them. They are a sign of commitment to the natural beauty of all living beings.
Photography
I see beauty in almost everything and since it is in the eye of the beholder you might see it differently. Even though you might not experience my photos the way I intended to, I hope you will reflect on what you see and ask yourself if it is the only way of seeing it?
Please look at the post from Egypt and see what you think, or think about what you see!
Unfortunately I know little to nothing about photography but my objective is not precision and flawlessness. I would only like to share moments of life from places you might or might not otherwise see.
Any photography tips are always welcome though 🙂
Most photos can be seen in a larger version by just clicking them.
Welcome and perfect love!

hi rastaphoto, enjoying your photos very much. There is much beauty in people in their everyday surroundings, without photoshop, stylists, or fancy special effects, and the lives/art they make are worth celebrating.Your images are powerful and evocative… Thank you for sharing your journey, I look forward to reading more of your posts!
Thank you 🙂 yes, beauty is everywhere and not what the media wants you to define it as (in order to make us buy more)
Seems interesting. Money shouldn’t stop anyone from following their dreams like you did,travelled with less budget but still able to bring to us what you saw.
Thanks will come back for my second round soon.
We should always remember though that for the person with absolutely no money at all to feed herself it is much harder to travel.
With enough money for food travel just takes a little will to leave ones comfortable zone 😉
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Lovely images of your travels. You really have been to a lot of places. THanks for sharing. Look forward to more images from Ethiopia.
Thank you kindly 🙂 i will post some soon

Hi there I just nominated you for the ABC Award (Awesome blog award). I’m not sure this is something you want to do (and I won’t be offended if you don’t :-)) and I’m not even sure I did it correctly, but I do hope that my mention of you in my post will bring some new readers your way.
Thank you so much. it is greatly appreciated 🙂
I like the way you executed your post by the alphabet.
It would take me too long to come up with stuff like that 🙂

Hi Rastaphoto, Thanks for stopping by Postcard Cafe. Things appear to have been quiet on your blog. Can we expect some new photos soon? I enjoy seeing your work. I hope all is good in your world. Best wishes PC
Yeah. and thank you. Some time off the electrical world, some self chosen some due to an accident.
I have some old analogue stuff I would like to put up but my physical health is not ready yet.
Keep up the good work.
Perfect love
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been poorly. I hope you get your health back on track soon. I’ve sent you a brief email from Postcard cafe so maybe check your spam in case it gets filtered off… Best wishes, PC
