Jongaya leprosy settlement, Makassar, Sulawesi
I am now back in Bali, catching up with life and emails, editing images from the trip to Makassar and filming some interviews for another project – life is always varied here! The trip to Makassar was fantastic and whilst I didn't quite achieve all that I hoped, I still consider it a success. And [...]
Sulawesi update – plans, plans, plans…
I have now been in a hot and sunny Makassar since Thursday evening, meeting up with friends and contacts and chasing down a few details of the different projects, which are now starting to come together. First stop in Makassar was to meet up with two good friends here – Sarah Oakes and Pete Howson, [...]
Salt pans of Maras, Peru
Another post and more images from the archives, this time from Peru in 2010. I was lucky enough to have some work in Cuzco close to the Sacred Valley and whilst there, took the opportunity to visit a few of the famous sites in the area – Machu Picchu included. However it was some of [...]

I’m currently in Bali, sitting in a nice, comfortable villa for a couple of days – gathering my thoughts, doing some work and generally recharging my batteries. I have been working hard over the last few months in the UK, and felt the need for a few days of relaxation – not quite a complete [...]
Haiti…
Just a short post. I am currently in Port-au-Prince working with European Disaster Volunteers, an organisation set up to provide meaningful relief and reconstruction assistance to disaster affected communities. It has been a busy few days, spent mostly at a small orphanage close to EDV’s base where the volunteers are building a home school. However, [...]
Peru…
I’ve now been in Peru for over a week, visiting different projects supported by Latin American Foundation for the Future with Fran Talavera, as well as spending time at a small home for street boys – Azul Wasi, or the Blue House in English – supported by LAFF. From what I have seen, Peru is [...]
