It is my pleasure and share with you that I have officially reached 10.2 million Hits and some 180,000 Visitors on my Website and Blog in 2012. (over a 12 month period)
Thanks to all my readers, friends, followers and supporters who made this possible.
This is certainly a new milestone and I try my very best to keep you posted with interesting articles and photos in 2013.
Next week I have a quick trip to Boracay Island and on Feb. 8 and 9 in cooperation with Power Mac Center a two-day photo workshop in Subic Bay (Subic Park Hotel in Zambales) on basic photography and digital photo management with an introduction to Aperture 3.
Interested parties may register at atc@powermaccenter.com or training_request@powermaccenter.com.

Then by mid February I am leaving for some 3 weeks to Myanmar/Burma also know as the Golden Land and described by Rudyard Kipling in his novel Road to Mandalay. After Myanmar I am off to Cambodia for a few more weeks, a Country I have been visiting since 1992 with its ancient temples from the vast Khmer empire. The images on todays post are from both of these Countries.

Our first Photo Tour and Workshop in 2013 is to Myanmar, this one is fully booked and so is our very special exploratory (very limited number of Participants) trip to Cambodia.
I like to call this one… rural exploration and the mighty Tonle Sap Lake… there is a lot more to explore and discover in CAMBODIA, besides amazing Temples and Monks, hence my reason for choosing different images for this post, more on this subject after my return…
After our special Photo Tour in Cambodia I am going to hang around for another 2 weeks for a very private Photo Tour and additional photography for confirmed articles.

Now, if you have missed out on these trips, don’t worry we have additional Photo Tours and Workshops to Myanmar/Burma and Cambodia later in the Year; for all our destinations and more details check our Photo Tours and Workshop Calendar ASIA 2013.
Once I am on the road I have little time and at some destinations no Internet connections so posting anything will have to wait until I have returned. But I try my best and stay in touch via Face Book and Twitter whenever possible and thanks again for all your support. GD

Almost in one day… I got the "Beatles in a Sexy Street" a Condom Machine, well that was another day in my small home town. A crooked House, yellow footprints, homeless people, colorful Graffiti, an Octopus on the wall and the saddle-less push bike in Paris…
2012 is gone and we’re already two days into 2013 and this is my first Blog post for the year.

A Sexy Bus Stop in Hamburg, Germany
The last two-month in 2012 had been very hectic to say the least, traveling to Germany and later to France for my Exhibition. (running until the end of February)
I had very little time for photography on this trip but like to share with you some interesting, bizarre and weird images that crossed my path during my stay in Germany and Paris.

________________________________________________
We also updated our Photo Tour and Workshop Site changed and listed some very interesting Journeys for 2013 in the Calendar.
Our first two Photo Tours to Burma/Myanmar and Cambodia starting in February are fully booked now and I am really looking forward to meet new participants and see familiar faces again.
This time we have participants from Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, USA, Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Bangladesh.
We start in Burma by mid February with two separate tours and after a few weeks I continue to Cambodia with two special Photo Tours back to back. By middle of February I am very much out of touch for some six weeks, so please forgive me if my Blogs, FB entries will be very thin during that time.
Plus I have to squeeze in a trip to Palawan and Boracay Island in the Philippines, I guess not a bad start for the
New Year.

Travel Photography Cambodia: The story behind the photos, a remarkable woman called Chea Samy
The story behind the photos… a remarkable woman called Chea Samy, the survival of traditional Khmer Dance in Cambodia.
Copyright all Rights reserved. Mandatory credit with image use:

Traditional Khmer dancer outside at the Royal Performing Hall
at the Phnom Penh Grand Palace, Cambodia.
This post is about a remarkable woman whom I meet in Cambodia exactly 20 years ago, it is also my last post for 2012. Still busy with all the arrangements for our upcoming tour to Myanmar and Cambodia in February and March.
1992… the Mekong River… on assignment for Animan Magazine; traveling through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia for some 3 month following the Mekong River where ever possible.
…I arrived on a hot humid day in Phnom Penh, Cambodia; it was the same day the United Nations Peace keeping forces swarmed in from all over the world, trying to stabilize the war ravaged but ever so beautiful Country.
I was still on my Mekong trip but now found myself right in the middle of all this chaos and UN berets, I had completed Thailand and Laos, now it was Cambodia where the mighty Mekong River is part of everyday life. The next stop was Vietnam by road from Phnom Penh but that is another story. BTW…the Mekong story got published a few month later and became a 24-page article in Animan Magazine.
Hanging around those days was a very different story, it was almost like “Wild West” in the streets of Phnom Penh with Pol Pot still hiding deep in the Cambodian Jungle. Besides the country was littered with land mines and venturing out in the countryside was a high risk factor.

Traditional Khmer carvings APSARA can be found at Angkor Wat
and many other Khmer Temple Ruins in Cambodia.
Part of my Mekong River story was to capture also the traditional and culture aspect; places the Mekong touched on his long Journey and this is how I found this truly remarkable women in Phnom Penh.
Her name was Chea Samy… dedicating her time to the traditional form of Khmer dances, unfortunately Chea passed away some years ago but she will be long remembered for her passion and dedication to Khmer Art.

the Royal Performing Hall at the Phnom Penh Grand Palace, Cambodia.
Chea Samy was a teacher before Pol Pot arrived, but went into hiding as a vegetable vendor during the horrific times of the Pol Pot regime that had no tolerance for Intellectuals or for the art in Cambodia.
Having survived the horrific years of Pol Pot, Chea was instrumental in reviving the traditional Khmer dancers.
I meet her in an old damaged school house where she was teaching the Khmer Dances, at the time Chea was the only surviving person who could teach these traditional dances.
I took some photos but thought it would be nice to see them also perform again at the Grand Palace adding the grace to their almost forgotten art.
So I went to work… after three days of red tape and countless discussions I finally got permission from the Ministry to photograph this group of dancers with Chea Samy at the Royal Palace.
When I told Chea the news a few days later a big smile crossed her face and she beamed with joy.
Though Chea Samy has since passed away the APSARA Arts Association is still very active in preserving traditional arts in Cambodia, an important part of Cambodia's Culture and rich History.

Traditional Khmer Dances – it takes 6 years to learn and 9 years to perfect for these amazing and beautiful dancing skills.

I have traveled around Myanmar since 2004 and I could not agree more with Rudyard Kipling; Myanmar also known as Burma is such an amazing place… but it is changing rapidly now.
A fascinating and unique destination filled with the spirituality of Buddhism, not to mention its warm and friendly people. Now is the time to visit this truly amazing country before to many changes take place.

Aperture 3.3 upgrade issues and a quick glance how to find all those new features
A quick and first glance at Aperture 3.3 and
how to find all those new features, plus some issues.
Tips and upgrading issues you should watch out for… so lets get started.
It's been some 24 hours since the new release of Aperture 3.3… quiet a chunk to download and if you have not done so make sure you have a good and reliable internet connection. How much improvements do we get and has Aperture 3.3 improved?
In my opinion and at a first glance I like what I have seen so far, but it is way to early for final conclusions until I am done with my test driving…still in progress.
NOTE: I heard some conflicting reports from users that there is some issues between Lion 10.7.4 and Snow Leopard… Aperture 3.3 will NOT run on Snow Leopard, however I could not confirm or test this since I am running Lion, but if this is the case then Apple should have advised on this issue, and for those still running on Snow Leopard it is certainly a blow and they have to upgrade to Lion. (I recommend anyway)
See the screenshots some marked in RED with the new features.
Metadata now called Info, new Auto Enhance button
and added iPhoto Effects 
New Mid Contrast Slider in the Highlights and Shadows panel
White Balance panel has now under the color Temperature a new drop down panel
with additional adjustments for Skin tones and Natural Gray.
Beware that some 32-bit Plug-in don't work any more unfortunately Apple did not mention this and you only find out after you upgraded to 3.3 I am not so depending on Plug-ins but for some other folks out there it maybe an issue.
I have for example the DxO Film pack 3 installed (using it for testing purpose only) and this one is not working, everything runs now on 64-bit and until some Plug-ins change from 32-bit to 64-bit they won't work. So be careful here, all support for 32-bit Plug-ins are gone in Aperture 3.3
Upon launch you be prompted to update your Aperture Library to 3.3
You be also prompted to upgrade your Library upon launch and depends on how many images you have, this could take quiet a while, the same applies to the new iPhoto 9.3 too.
New iPhotoLibrary also needs to be upgraded
The User Interface has a new look and the colors are gone for the Smart Albums, Projects etc., etc. this might take some getting use to it, but I had no problems finding things very quick and I was up and running in no time.
All color Icons are gone in the new interface.
Another interesting change is that Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 using now a unified photo-library, this really will not affect me so much but can be very useful for some people out there who like to move from iPhoto 9.3 to Aperture 3.3 making the switch a lot easier. For more info and details check out the Apple support document:
Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260
Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 using now a unified photo-library
I be conducting some training/tutorials at the Power Mac Center starting this month…hands on Aperture 3 and introduce also the new features from Aperture 3.3 plus a lot more on the Digital Darkroom.
For more information contact PMC Power Mac Center AATC facilities at Arnaiz, Makati, Philippines. (final dates/times to be announced shortly on Twitter and Facebook) Power Mac Center Training. Or check with one of their branches through out Metro Manila for details.
