In February 2022, I visited again Liberia, West Africa, for family reasons. In the capital, Monrovia, I had the opportunity to take portraits in one of the many slums – “Smythe Road”

The PlantaBuilding

“My home is my castle” – true, if one has a home. Others have to seek shelter in constructions that hardly deserve the term “building’. The Planta Building is located in the Smythe Road Community, on Old Road, one of the many slums in Monrovia, capitol of Liberia, on the West African coast.

Hoshyar Ali – Hero without legs

The legs, or rather the fragments of the legs, are already there. Went ahead. To the cemetery. The right one went in 1989, the left one in 1994, ripped apart and separated by exploding landmines. Their owner continues to defuse landmines. Just without legs, on all fours. General and hero of Halabja. In the east of the Kurdistan region Iraq, not far from Iran.

Pho shop Hanoi Vietnam

Delicious! Pho is a traditional Vietnamese beef noodle soup and one of my favorite dishes. And I love the atmosphere in the pho shops – all are focused on eating.

Sulaymaniah

Most of us have to work in one way or another to earn a decent living. As they say, there is no free lunch in this world. But some have to work harder than others, toiling in unbearable, life-threatening conditions for just a few cents a day, enough to buy a bowl of rice.
