Topsy Turvy

Sometimes I think things are so much more interesting when turned upside down- new perspectives and outcomes occur, new options emerge.
When turned upside down this image sparked a whole new set of stories for me. I saw animals, children’s books, and a whole host of animated characters.
I love the way imagery can do [...]

Portrait sessions available in August.

Portrait session slots are available in August for anyone interested! They make a lovely birthday or anniversary gift idea.
And thinking of portraits, this is one of my all time favourites. I took it on the same day as the photo shoot mentioned below. Her name is Afsana Khatum, and lives on the outskirts of Kolkata, [...]

Along the railway line.

I had a little wander down memory’s path this week, when Suas posted a link to an audio slideshow with images and sound from my last trip to Kolkata, India. One morning last August I followed the lovely Hasif Seikh from his home in Guitary Sharif along the railway line to his school, documenting the [...]

‘The Audacity to Love’

Travelling through Uganda a few years back, I was introduced to the wonderful Dr. Ita Harnett, who was then working for Hospice Africa Uganda. We struck up an immediate friendship, and she has been unable to get rid of me ever since. Ita in turn introduced me to the remarkable Dr. Anne Merriman, who was [...]

I love it when things get to print! And as always, [...]

Trinity Africa Day Celebrations

I headed down to Trinity College yesterday, to take some images for TIDI, the Trinity International Development Initiative who were hosting a talk on Food Security to mark Africa Day.
This was my favorite shot of the day, a lighter moment in what otherwise was an afternoon of serious talk and debate.

Jacob turns One..

I got together this week with the lovely Jen, Rob and their delightful son Jacob, for a family photo shoot, to mark Jacob’s first birthday. The boy has smiles and charm in abundance. Keeping him still for even a second was however another matter. He will be walking soon and there will be no stopping [...]
