in april 2024, a street photographer (me, alex ohtea) set out on the biggest bike ride one can set out on: a meandering tour across every continent. armed with my trusty fuji x100vi, i've already cycled from the top of norway to the bottom of africa, crossing the norwegian fjords, scottish highlands, sahara desert, and congolese rainforest on the way! all the moments below are straight out of my fuji, as i saw them, felt them, and shot them. now you get to experience the ride, but without rattling your bones on corrugated namibian roads or standing knee deep in sierra leonean floodwaters, you lucky ducky.

(oh, and if you wanna take a moment from the journey home join my monthly photo club or check out my print shop!)

surprise! it's a CV.
