Another year over, another year older. It’s been a good year, shot a lot of images, some of which I was pleased with. No major assignment catastrophes except for one night on a bullet train coming back from a two day shoot in Osaka when my flash card corrupted and I lost the whole shoot, [...]
In the past couple of years I’ve flown to atolls, such as Kiribati and Carterets, to undertake assignments documenting the effects of global warming and rising sea levels. The irony hasn’t escaped me that in flying to these far flung regions I, as well as any other frequent flyers, are contributing to the very demise [...]
Just a small detail found near my house. Happy Boxing Day.
Here’s another image from my recent PNG trip, one that I’m fond of. It’s from the town of Buka, on Buka island, north Bougainville, the town from where you get the boat out to the Carteret Islands. We spent a few days there trying to organise a boat to take us out, and we used [...]

I’ve never been to these before, every 23rd December I’ve managed to be elsewhere, and I’ve always missed the [...]
The picture above is taken on last weeks assignment in the Carteret islands off of Papua New Guinea. It’s my favourite shot from the trip, a nice quiet moment by the shore. One of those moments when you’re hanging around, nothing expected, (I was waiting for a boat to come and collect me) and suddenly [...]
I’ve been a bit busy tidying up after my Papua New Guinea assignment, there’s always lots to do after assignments. Edit, caption, send pics, collect receipts from all the pockets you stuffed them whilst you were on the road, then use a web based currency calculator to work out just how much real money “100 [...]
Merry Christmas, hope everyone has a good festive season.
This image I shot in Port Moresby at the end of last week. Good to see the souvenir sellers keep their products topical. None of the paintings took my fancy and I don’t have them adorning my walls, not my cup of tea really…
