The first dates for my upcoming lectures of my latest book Unterwegs In Burma (Travelling through Burma) are fixed and you can see them in the event page. The lectures will take part only in Germany until there is an English translation of the book later.

For all people, who understand German - if you are interested to see me on stage reading from my book and giving an informative evening about the Shan people and Burma with a multimedia show - feel free to come by.

See you there,

Nicholas

10. November 2012

Today I received the first copies of my new book Unterwegs In Burma (Travelling through Burma) and I am very excited, because it is looking very nice and it is pretty different to have a pure textbook in hands with only few images.

The book is looking very great and I hope you readers will enjoy it too. 

Take care,

Today I finally added new photos from my research travel to Nepal this year to document the life of the exiled Tibetan refugees for my new book project. You can find the photos in the Photography 2012 page.

There are also two more children, that need your help to enable them to attend their school education smoothly, because their parents can not fully pay the high fees. Like most Tibetans in Nepal, the refugees are not granted a Nepali citizenship and can not work in regular jobs and so they are condemned to rely on souvenir-selling. Please take a look at the Donations page and please consider sending some money for these children.

Additionally I have uploaded all necessary proofs to show, that all the donations, which I received during 2011 for the refugee children reached their destination. I was able to give the money to the families personally at the beginning of this year.

Currently I try to set up a bank-account for the Keinom Foundation so that the donations will run independently from my own income. I am just waiting for replies from ecological- and social-friendly banks to consider setting up an account.

My new book with the title "Unterwegs in Burma - Eine Reise zum Volk der Shan" (Travelling through Burma - A journey to the Shan people) will be coming out during this year too, but it will be in German language first. More news will be announced here soon.

Take care,

Nicholas

16. August 2012

I have finally added a couple of reviews about my published books in the Publications.

Please enjoy, what other people write about my work.

Additionally there are some new photos published in many different folders and added a few unpublished images about the Thai demonstrations in 2006. Please take look here. 

New stuff will be added soon, so please take a look soon again.

Best wishes,

Nicholas

22. July 2012

Additionally to the last entry I have included another call for donations. The headmaster of the Mount Kailash School of the refugee settlement of Tashi Palkhiel has contacted me during my latest stay to find some sponsoring for the urgently needed renovation of the school. he also wants to built a new house for the students, so that they have the chance for a proper class-rooms for e.g. music or sports classes.

Please take a look at the call in the Donations page.

I hope to receive a proper amount of support for the school and also the other needy projects.

Thanks a lot for your help,

take care

During my last travel to Nepal I was again staying in a Tibetan refugee settlement. I bought some new products for the Fair-Trade to support some refugees in a direct way. All products have been paid already with a reasonable price and all purchases from it will result in a new order to extend this humanitarian support.

Please go to the Fair-Trade and buy some of the nice products to support Tibetan people in exile in a direct and concrete way.

Thanks a lot for your support, 

Tashi Delek,

URGENT CALL FOR DONATION

During my current stay in Nepal to make the research for my upcoming book I came across another family, who urgently needs your support. Please go to the Donations page and take a look at the call for Yangchen Dolkar. Her school fees are currently not much, so I and the whole family of Yangchen would be very happy, when you or several people could help her to donate some amount for her school education.

There will be some further call for donation calls soon. I have also been able to give the donated money from last year to Tenzin Kunsal and Lhamo Dolkar's mother to her hands. A testimony is uploaded already and the proof from my bank-account will be coming soon as well. Thanks a lot to everyone who made a donation and please continue to send money, because the problem is not solved yet.

Take care,
Nicholas

I have uploaded some new photos from this year 2011. I have not been working much with my camera, because my work has a different approach this time. As usual you can find some new images in the Photography gallery, that include some shots of a concert by the the great Japanese band Mono, as well as some images from my travels to the exiled Tibetan communities in Nepal. Maybe a few more photos from Nepal will folllow later.

Take care,
Nicholas

After a long silence with no news or regular updates, the on-going technical problems have been solved finally and www.keinom.com is re-re-launched again. This time with a complete new design.

Most images have already been published on my old website, but there will come some new photos from last and this year soon and I have written a few more articles. I am still not finished to upload all contents and the new works, so come back soon for new images, texts, information and news.

The book Celebrate People’s History by Josh MacPhee was released in 2010.  which included three of my designs for his nice poster-series about the democratic 8888 uprising in Burma at the 8.8.1988; the Nobel Peace Price  laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and the White Rose resistance group from Germany, that was active against the Nazi regime.

2011 has already seen the Brasilian translation of the new edition of Graffiti World - O mundo do grafite - Nova edicao revista e ampliada.

Currently my latest book Die Menschen des Himmels - eine Reise zu dem Volk der Shan in Burma / Myanmar (engl.: The heavenly people - a journey to the Shan people in Burma / Myanmar) is going to be published approx. in the beginning of 2012. It is my first text-only work and I will post some news about it here soon. First to be released in German only.

At the moment I am working on another book project, which is leading into a more artistic direction. More news to be posted later, when time is right for it.

Please take a look at the FOUNDATION, where I have posted an urgent call to sponsor the education of two Tibetan refugee-children.

Thanks a lot for your attention and hope to see you soon.

All my  best wishes to you,
take care

On 17. November 2009 there had already taken place the Shan New Year in Burma, in November the Nepali New Year; during January there will be the New Year festivals of the Lahu and Akha people in Burma too and they will be followed by the Tibetan Lhosar on 14. February, as well as the Chinese New Year and in April there still needs to come the Burmese and Thai Water Festival to welcome their coming year.

So, there is a lot to celebrate according to our different calendars.
