Am kommenden Dienstag, 14. September, nehme ich am einer Podiumsdiskussion in #Bautzen teil, die der Verein Willkommen in Bautzen ausrichtet. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, das Panel ist mit einem Bundeswehrsoldaten, der in #Afghanistan war, einem Hazarer aus Afghanistan, der sich in Dresden für die Integration seiner Landsleute einsetzt, einem Vertreter des Sächsischen Flüchtlingsrats, mir und dem Moderator, einem Journalisten vom Cicero hochkarätig besetzt. Bitte per E-Mail unter info@willkommeninbautzen.de anmelden.

That's a post I have been wanting to do for a long time. These are the girls of @kyrgyzsatellite_eng @kyrgyzsatellite - who want to send their own satellite to the space. #Kyrgyzstan is a country where you cannot study engineering, and where girks, if they study, barely chose technical specialisation. But these girls did. Aizada Karataeva, Kyzzhibek Batyrkanova and Begayim Isaakova are some of them, and they take their project seriously, showing other young women in Kyrgyzstan, that they don't have the choice to do what they want. I made a radio feature about them for German public broadcaster @deutschlandfunk.

Can you spot the second girl? 👩‍🦱👩‍🦱 - These are Amina, on the left, and Assylzhan, on the right. Two sisters who suffer from Microcephaly, a condition, that was caused by nuclear radiation. I met the girls in 2012 in Semey. Until 1991 around Semey there was a test site for atomic bombs. To this day, people are still suffering from the late effects of the environmental pollution caused by the nuclear tests. August 29 is the International Day against Nuclear Tests. On this day 40 years ago, the Semipalatinsk test site was finally closed. Today, Kazakhstan is a pioneer in outlawing nuclear weapons. - You find more about the two sisters and more pictures in an article I wrote, link in my bio. || #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #facesofcentralasia #peoplephotography

I deleted my last post about the Afghan women who trained at the police academy to become police women. Someone had pointed out to me, that I may have set them in danger, because the Taliban might identify them. Unfortunately that's true, so I took the pictures off. That photo is hopefully less dangerous. It shows an old Russian tank in the province of Takhar in the North of Afghanistan, in 2007. || #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #travelabout #travelphotography #traveller #travelshot

So, here we are again - after a story is before the next story. Working right now on a reportage about the Aral Sea, this time with new insights, that I didn't expect myself - and for the first time, including #Uzbekistan. To be published in September. - These guys I met on the road from Muinaq to the sea shore near the Ustyurt plateau. Appropriate way to transport a boat, don't you think so, too? 😅 || #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #travelabout #travelphotography #traveller #travelshot #travelshots #ontheroad #wanderlust #mycentralasia #caravanistan

Not all of you know probably that I happened to visit #Afghanistan twice in my early years in #CentralAsia. In 2007 I visited the three Northern povinces at the border to Tajikistan - Kunduz, Takhar and Badakhshan. It was a mind-blowing experience! These kids I met in in Khwaja Ghar at a council of elders, a so called Shura. Looking back 14 years I'm wondering what did happen to all the kids, women and men I photographed back then.....

Working full strength on a longer radio feature for @deutschlandfunk on the consequences of the pull-out of U.S. troops from #Afghanistan for Central Asia. It will be airing tomorrow. - This photo I took at the Afghan bazaar in Ishkashim, Tajikistan, where local people from both sides of the river Pyandzh, that marks the border, trade with each other. Unfortunately now this trade is blocked, as the Taliban control the Afghan side. || #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #travelabout #travelphotography #traveller #travelshot #travelshots #ontheroad

Furkat, the fur cap seller in Khiva. - This, again

Furkat, the fur cap seller in Khiva. - This, again, was such a delightful encounter, I'm still smiling over it. He was such a nice and kind guy, 28 years old, not married, no kids. He knew, that I wouldn't buy anything of his products, but gave me the feeling to be warmly welcomed. He had so much to tell, about this family business in the 7th generation, the sheep races, the 5,0000 sheep they have out in the desert, and the fur caps themselves. He even knew, that Germans mostly don't wear fur anymore, but he doesn't mind,and he doesn't judge them. If you come to Khiva, say hello to to Furkat, who stands right at the west gate of Ichan Kala, the old town. || #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #travelabout #travelphotography #traveller #travelshot #facesofcentralasia #people #peoplephotography
