- Traveling to Uluru the 'back way' through Western Australia we spent 2 long days on dirt tracks traversing sand dunes, spinifex plains and rocky outcrops. These 2 camels provided a welcome distraction early on the morning of the second day. Shot from the car at 60km/h I love the feeling of movement in this image. Camels are a huge pest in outback Australia. In places where their densities are high they foul up waterways and compete with native wildlife for valuable resources. Interestingly, they are the last truly wild dromedaries in the world!

- One female Japanese teacher, 34 years old, is in charge of music class for the fifth grade student at Nsawo Primary school in Uganda. Nsawo village is in 90km north of the capital, Kampala. They are studying and practicing a piano. Students like to study music class very much, especially a piano. As there is no electric power, they study in the classroom with the natural light from windows. In the sunny day, the class room is illuminated by soft and beautiful light. I took this photograph in March 2012.

- Sitting in the grass in a remote valley in the southern highlands of Tanzania, watching male buff-shouldered widowbirds displaying to females, we spied what we thought was a little green bug napping in the nook of a flower. And so started our spontaneous moment with this little green frog. It remains as one of our favourite moments from our three month visit.

- Paris was the first city I visit from Europe, I consider it to be the city where all my past got mixed with the present to evolve into what I am today.

- Last year I was climbing for the 18th time the Iztaccíhuatl volcano (5287 masl), it was Sunday 20th November 2011 and it was my last weekend living in Mexico before I left my country because of a new job. I was climbing with some of my best friends and it was a kind of farewell. We were at the south summit when suddenly the terrain vibrated and we heard a roar. The result was this image and one of the most amazing memories I'll have for the rest of my life.
