Bali Spirit Festival 2013…
Back at the end of March I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the main photographers at this year’s Bali Spirit Festival in Ubud, in charge of covering all the night events. In other words, shooting some amazing performances. I have been doing more and more music photography and am loving it [...]
The Coral Triangle Communications Platform…
A new website – The Coral Triangle Communications Platform – is now live. I have contributed a couple of features to the site and will hopefully be submitting more in the future. If you would like to learn more about The Coral Triangle, then this site is a must. The below is taken from the [...]
Burma – Revisited (and reprocessed)…
With the recent developments coming out of Burma, I decided to post a link on my Facebook page to an old gallery of images that I shot in 2008 during a month long trip around the country. At the time I processed the vast majority of images as B&Ws, mainly because I felt that the [...]
Know of an exciting marine conservation story..?
I am in the midst of putting together a pitch to a big conservation/environment organisation for photo features and multimedia pieces that will be used as part of a new information portal focused on the oceans and their management as natural resources. This project looks like it will be a fantastic opportunity to highlight interesting [...]

I’m in Phuket – not my favourite place in the world. I made the rash decision to stay in a cheap hotel in Patong and am hating it – the whole town and beach is a perfect example of tourist development gone deeply wrong. And I am missing Indonesia. I’m here on a visa run, [...]
Makassar – practical workshop, and moving on…
I left Makassar last night and am now sitting in Bali for a few days before heading out to Malaysia or Thailand to do a visa run. It does feel a little strange to be here, back in the land of tourism. One of the things that I enjoyed so much about Makassar was that [...]
Takalar – a few minutes of luck…
Today was one of those days where a lot seemed to go wrong – but as is so often the case, it only needed one thing to go right to make the day a success. We’d arranged to meet up with a community group based in Takalar – about 1.5 hours away from Makassar – [...]
Tallo, Makassar…
Makassar is a functional port rather than a tourist destination. It is big, dirty and noisy, but has a certain charm about it – a real Indonesian city, rather than a beautified spot for visitors. Most tourists pass through on their way to Toraja or further north, perhaps spending a day looking at Fort Rotterdam, [...]
