Offroad Australia | Photoessay I was lucky enough to be able to spend a year travelling in Australia as the first part of my long and slow world adventure. My goals for the trip were simple – I wanted to get way off the beaten track, and explore the kind of Australia that I had seen in movies like “Crocodile Dundee” and “Australia” (sure, the latter may not be the greatest movie of all time, but watch it with the sound off and I guarantee you’ll want to visit Western Australia by the end!). In order to get off the beaten track under my own steam, I needed a vehicle suitable for the challenge, which in Australia meant getting hold of a Toyota Land Cruiser. These things are practically indestructible, and perfect for the kind an offroad Australia adventure. I wanted to see the places that only a four wheel drive can take you! This beach on the Western Australian coastline is in the world heritage listed Shark Bay, a place stuffed full of marine life, including the rare Dugong. It’s not all beaches of course.

cole rise Portraits of Strangers | Danny Santos II - Freelance Photographer in Singapore When I’m out on the streets, I often encounter faces that make me look twice; faces that stand out in the crowd without trying; faces that are out of the ordinary. They range from the exquisitely beautiful to the strangely wonderful. I started to approach these strangers for permission to take a photo of them. Some said no, but most said yes. After taking their portrait, I’d say ‘thank you’ and walk on along. I didn’t ask for their names, or where they came from, or what they do, because I wanted the viewers to see them how I saw them: as beautiful strangers. Read more about the project here. To view all the other photos, please visit my facebook set here or my flickr set here. I saw her sitting on the stairs outside of a mall, talking with her friend. A year and a half later, I got to connect with her through Facebook. I saw her from afar, walking briskly, standing out of the crowd with her short blonde hair and tall stature. She was walking with her boyfriend.
