Off the clock

When the day goes wrong, he rides, drives or cooks.

The road

Motorcycle road trips to almost every part of India, and across the border into Nepal. Long roads clear the head better than anything else.

The mountains

Trekking and mountaineering: high passes, cold mornings and villages at the end of the road.

The snow

Winters go to the snow, on a board or on skis.

The night sky

He studied the sky as a physicist. On the road he still stays up to photograph it.
