Sachiv Dudhia, Rapper, father and Bricklayer, Australia,

Meet Sachiv. Making most of situations and keeping a positive outlook on life Sachiv was always a person everybody loved to be around. Becoming a father and deciding to be a good one and stand behind it he had grown up to be even more mature and respectable. His passion since childhood was to be active in the music and artistic industry, this he is fulfilling by being active in the local rap and hip hop scene. Performing live in popular spots in Perth he is a rising star. Never loosing focus and keeping his eyes on his goal Sachiv is a guy to look out for. A person with a shining personality and humble mind, a skilled rapper and a quick learner (how to change diapers and other things that come with a child) he is defiantly on the right tracks. As we all know hard work pays off, don't give up. Knowing Sachiv he wont give up. Therefore one day the struggle will pay off. If you have a passion or a dream never give up to attain it. If you fall down then get up and try again. One day you will succeed. We had learned how to talk, walk, ride bicycles and all other major activities in life through failing and getting up again, its no different with other goals. So if you truly want something, then go for it!

Hayma, Red Karen, Thailand

On my trip to the north of Thailand I came across a village of the native Kayan tribe (a subgroup of the Red Karen from Burma). One of the Kayan tribes traditionally at a young age start to use bronze rings to weigh their shoulders down in order for the perception of a long neck/throat. It was very interesting to see their lifestyle and hear some of the stories. There are a lot of subgroups in the Kaya with different backgrounds and clothing, not all have the long necks, but certainly those ladies stand out the most and are therefore most known. Given that this village was given as a refuge place to the Kayan tribes people I have to admit that it had a touristy feeling to it. The economy of the locals was based upon tourists purchasing products and coming through. However where else would you get in contact with some of these very interesting people? I know that these photos I will look upon and remember the Kayan tribe.

Wirat, Bangkok, Thailand

The next interesting personality I have met is Wirat. I met him watching his snake handling show in the Bangkok snake farm run by the thai red cross. He seems to have no fear of snakes and casually handles some of the worlds most venomous snakes including the king cobra. After the show I got the chance to talk to him...

Introducing myself

Since this blog is about the faces of this globe I will start with my own face. My name is Timothy Bürki. I moved to Australia end of 2008 from Switzerland. I started university here studying a bachelor of commerce majoring in marketing and management. Sooner rather than later I realised that I got bored of it and don't actually want to be stuck in an office all day doing work for someone else and fulfilling their dream wasting my time. Time is the most rare gift we have. Therefore I decided to take a gap year, do some modelling, work for some big fashion boutiques such as Louis Vuitton, Bally and others. But the best decision I ever took was to go traveling. Meeting people from all walks of life and each having their own bit of wisdom to give me. I was on the quest to happiness and finding my passion, finding what I truly wanted to do with my life and what I am meant to do with my limited time I have. Meeting people rich and influential as well as poor and lost, all have given me an insight  All images are raw and not edited or taken professionally, I am just a guy with a simple camera. Thanks for stopping by.
