During all my journeys I used to take hundreds of slides with my Nikon SLR, now I am using a Nikon D850 and D7200, succeeding my D5000 and D80. The D850 allowed me to do photo stacking, which produces incredible sharp images of especially tiny subjects, see some examples on my Suriname Gallery. A selection of my photos can be found in many of the trip reports on my homepage and on Tibet specifically in the photo essay section. The photos before 2006 have been scanned slides.
I enjoy greatly sharing my photos, information and anecdotes from my trips and tours (read reviews). My interest are diverse and as a trained geographer and ecologist I like to bring in all kinds of aspects and do not limit myself narrowly to the title subject. Many years ago a neighbor who came along for a talk said "Daniel, that was so entertaining and packed with information, like listening to NPR", I felt flattered, but I think he was not a regular NPR listener. More recently I thought the label "edutainment" is pretty fitting, since I share lots of scientific information presented in an entertaining way with plenty of funny moments.

And before fungi took over my life 10 to 20 years ago, I specialized on environmental issues in Tibet Tibet:
My 90 min shows on Tibet include sections on Tibetan life (monasteries, Buddhism, culture, architecture, etc.), rural livelihood and survival strategies (nomadism, agriculture, medicinal plants, mushrooms), and the environment (vegetation, climate, geography, medicinal and other wild flowers, forests, wildlife and hot springs). In addition I am documenting modernization taking place and talk about project work I am currently involved in. Often I select a certain cultural or political area (i.e. West Sichuan, Gyarong, Dechen, Kham, Amdo, Changtang, Lithang, Lhasa, Kongpo etc.) or just the best slides of the most recent trips. Also, I offer presentations with a specific focus on certain subjects such as mushrooms, mushroom markets, wild flowers, forests, architecture, hot springs etc. Of course, even with a narrowly focused main subject I will integrate it in a wider framework. I guess that comes with being a trained geographer....
