Backgammon To The eXtreme!

This post is about my dear friend Jan who runs the site eXtreme-backgammon.net. It’s basically pictures of people playing backgammon under extreme circumstances. Be it on a deserted island, at the top of Mont Blanc in Italy or simply with a holy cow. So how does this relate to India you may ask!? Well, he went to India before me and has been travelling around the country and seen a lot more than I did. Also, one of his best friends is travelling in India at the moment and he keeps us updated with fresh photos and stories. Thank you Udo!

Luckily for us, they never forget their board or camera and all these posts with people playing backgammon eXtreme can be found here: India.

Even I had the chance for a guest play last summer when we travelled to Italy and Jonas managed to keep the leaning tower of Pisa erected while throwing the dices!

    Hi

    My name’s Jemma Egan. I’m an artist based in Liverpool in the UK. I’m trying to compile images of people pushing/holding The Leaning Tower of Pisa for an ongoing project I’ve been working on for some time. I found lots of photographs similar to yours when I was looking for something else and I really liked them and wanted to share them with other people. So far my collection of images has been exhibited in a couple of small galleries but I’m hoping sometime in the future to put together a small publication of the collection.

    I really like your photograph and I’d really like to add it to my collection and possibly use it for the publication and I wondered if you would be so kind as to grant me permission to use it?

    If it is okay for me to use your photograph, I would like to send you a very short word document to fill in for my records. I can email it to you if you send me your email address.

    Thanks

    Jemma
