Postcard from Bishkek

On these pages you’ll find a selection of photos … that probably why I’ve called this section “Photo Galleries”.

Actually, the choice was a bit limited because

1. when I came out I didn’t bring that many with me … just a few
2. I’m not very fond of having my photograph taken … I’m not very photogenic, and
3. my hard drive with all my photos crashed … and, like an idiot, I hadn’t backed it up for some time

They are divided into the following sections:

• Me over the years
