Everything up to
Well, I’ve sent them off. All of the photos from Honduras. They’re done and I can’t wait to see which ones end up in the fall issue of World Vision’s Childview Magazine. (I’ve included some out takes from the trip above so you can get a sense of what I was up to over there.) It sure is nice to be home, sitting on my old couch in my new apartment, drinking coffee from my South Africa mug and listening to songs on repeat.
Wanting the Unwanted
I took this photograph in India while covering a story about gender inequality in the northern region. Vatandeep was given away by her parents after being taunted by their neighbours because she was the fifth girl in a family without any boys. Read the full article, Wanting the Unwanted in the spring issue of Childview Magazine here.
Here are some more photos of Vatandeep and her community.
India was a hard trip for many reasons, but I was very moved when I met one of Vatandeep’s neighbours named Sona (pictured below) and her Grandmother. After spending a few days with Sona I decided to sponsor her.
Procrastinating
The best way to avoid doing work you don’t want to do is to convince yourself of the necessity of doing work that you do want to do. I saw these shots from Mali that I took last spring and I wanted to share them with you.
Back to Honduras
I was in Honduras this past December shooting for World Vision’s Victoria Campaign for Children. Tomorrow I am headed back to shoot for World Vision’s Gift Catalogue. When I was there in December I shot the above photos but I was so sick that I can barely remember the experience. I’m really excited to go back and really take it all in.
Mother & Daughter
I’m going to see my Mum who I’ve missed since she’s been away. For some reason it made me think of these photos that I shot in India of Sonam (left) and her mother Honey (right).
A quick hello
I’m down at the Flash Forward Festival this week trying to absorb as much as I can. I am seriously impressed by the artists and the organizers. I feel all giddy - like there is a million things I want to try out and change. One thing is to start working on a serious site update. So far I’ve updated the featured and portrait sections of my portfolio with recent work that I am really proud of. Hope you enjoy!
I took these shot in Mexico City when I was there early this year taking photos for a feature in Childview magazine.
Home and away
Easy (inspired) morning. I’ve got away on the mind.
