Conquering Chinggis Khaan (photo and book project)

Project name: Conquering Chinggis Khaan
Status: [09/08/2006] Initial project definition.

Project progress
In this project I aim to travel through all of Mongolia, seeing places, meeting people, finding hidden treasures, running into dinosaurs, surviving clouds of mosquitos, and coming back home alive to tell the story. Mongolia is a diverse place with hot deserts, freezing mountains, short summers, long winters, endless forests, infinite steppes, and boundless Gobi. The Mongolians live in all of these places and climates. I'm going to see for myself how they do it.

A trip to Mongolia for this project is not planned for 2006. If time allows, a trip could be planned for summer 2007 or 2008. This project can be combined with the other projects concerning Dornod, Sukhbaatar and Khentii.

The project is only in initial project design. One or more books are expected to result from this project. As yet there is no end date fixed.

Khentii is the birth ground of Temujin, aka Chinggis Khaan. I aim to visit the area where Temujin is believed to have been born to get a feel for the man who ruled the largest land empire in the world.

A trip to Khentii is not planned for 2006. If time allows, a trip could be planned for summer 2007 or 2008.

Unknown Sukhbaatar (photo and book project)

Project name: Unknown Sukhbaatar
Status: [09/08/2006] Initial project definition.

Project progress
Sukhbaatar is the birth aimag (province) of my wife's parents. Sukhbaatar is a remote aimag and most foreigners only see it from the window of the train to the border crossing with China at Zamiin Ude/Erlian. While this provence seems devoid of anything interesting, my aim is to show the world differently.

A trip to Sukhbaatar is not planned for 2006. If time allows, a trip could be planned for summer 2007 or 2008.

The project is only in initial project design. One or more books are expected to result from this project. As yet there is no end date fixed.

Dornod through the lens (photo and book project)

Project name: Dornod through the lens
Status: [09/08/2006] Initial project definition.

Project progress
Dornod is the birth aimag (province) of my wife. Dornod is one of the aimags least visited by tourists. The general consent is that this aimag holds little interest for most foreigners. All the more reason for me to visit this remote part of Mongolia.

A trip to Dornod is not planned for 2006. If time allows, a trip could be planned for summer 2007 or 2008.

The project is only in initial project design. One or more books are expected to result from this project. As yet there is no end date fixed.
