Oh Trouble

It's been a busy few months and this blog is gathering dust, but it's a good sign of keeping on my toes.

I've been working on a couple of different things, and on a particularly interesting project with On The Record. This group of lovely folk are getting people to tell their stories and uncovering history through interviews and lived experiences. I've been taking portraits for their work about Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, meeting hecklers, orators, jokers and troublemakers.

Some of my portraits will be included in the exhibition at the Bishopsgate Institute, opening December 7th.

Click here for a portrait I took and the story of one of the lovely troublemakers I met, Ruth Eastwood.

Summer with Kodak Six-20 Brownie Junior

More photos made with the battered old Kodak Six-20 Brownie Junior from the family treasure chest. Polka dots and numbers are the backing paper markings on the 120 film, as is that charcoal texture, which I quite like. Almost like seeing the frame numbers when looking at a contact sheet.

Dancing with Berbers

Sahara under a camel... just as hilarious as it looks.

In the backseat: Morocco edition

Sitting in the backseat is one of my favourite ways to enjoy a trip.

Driving up & over the Atlas mountains towards the desert we caught some amazing views Morocco. I only wish we could have stopped more, I missed so many pictures of the places we drove through!

Damn Right

Life is just like a gym sometimes. Would you believe it? 

Chin up, stomach in, eyes forward, etc.

Sunrise from the tent

Sleepy eyes can't focus much (or even aim the camera straight).

Cool Water

Taking a break from the heat by the stream, under shady Roudia Bridge.

Go Fish

Couple of friends took me on my first (and possibly only) ever fishing experience this summer at Tamasos dam, Cyprus. We were throwing the fish back in but I still felt bad for catching 'em.

Scorching day, beautiful sunset.
