The first sunbeams had touched my face whilst, in a group of volunteers, we were cutting up fruits for bears, cassowaries and other endangered species, together with other volunteers. Because of illegal wildlife trade and habitat destruction, there is a steadily increasing number of confiscated and rescued animals which need a temporary home.
Starting to observe things more closely. Happened across this beautiful creature yesterday morning, basking in the sunshine and it banished my pandemic broodings for a good few minutes, until it took flight again and found somewhere else to pause. The amazing thing about London right now with no planes in the sky and so few cars on the street is that you really can almost hear the wing-beat of a Peacock butterfly.
I left the farm quite broken-hearted and continued my trip in Egypt, which was a rather spontaneous idea. I returned to the Israeli desert where I went hiking on my own, then travelled onto Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv for me was a perfect city - the sea, beach, markets and street life. As I was exploring, , I was already thinking “this could be my new home”.
You might already know about the communist regime that was established in Romania by the USSR, but their history also includes Roman colonists, medieval wars with the Ottoman empire, World Wars and union movements.
On a road trip around Florida and Georgia, two years ago, I found time to grab my Leica and these are five of my favourite images captured:
Stalin's boots are all that remain of this statue, after the 1956 uprising in Hungary. Following the fall of communism in the late 1980's/early 1990's, all of the communist statues in Hungary were taken down, and a few have now resurfaced in Memento Park in Buda...
This is all about cutting out the ‘middleman’ — matching those who need something with those who have it. You have a car and I don’t? I can lend mine to you. You have a toolkit and I want to do some DIY? I can borrow yours. Put in its most simple form, it’s about ‘unlocking’ underused or undervalued assets and putting them to good use...
Fitzroy is Melbourne's hipster area, filled with street art, eclectic restaurants, odd stores and coffee houses. It boasts the first roasters in Australia and is a wonderful area to photograph...
I spent a weekend in Manchester last month, seeing my son and taking yet another Street Art tour. In the main, this took us through the slowly-gentrifying Northern Quarter of Manchester. All photos were taken there...
A force as strong as two Swedish girls out to get their New Year's kisses is a sight to behold. It had just stopped raining and we hailed a cab and told the driver to take us to Rothschild Boulevard. The traffic was awful so I gave the driver a pep talk - after all, we were on a mission. I informed him that we we were entirely in his hands and here I must add that one should never tell an Israeli cab driver this unless you are REALLY in a hurry. You have been warned!
