For the past two years I have been very involved in the setting up of our film company - Borneo Productions International (BPI), in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Bjorn; 
Came upon your gallery via a photo (Under the Bridge) win Inayatshah's feature on Thailand. I love your gallery!

Bjorn, how are you doing?
I have something to show. This is my friend's project, and i think you will love to see this :D
