I am a Uganda-based freelance photographer, and this is a receptacle for whatever I'm toying with at the moment, varying greatly in quality like the goat stew which so often powers it. Personal blog etc.

On The Trail Of The One-In-A-Million Bird
I teach photography to people occasionally- nothing particularly complex, just basic handling of SLRs and the outline of how to make pictures a little better. Recently a couple of students from the first class I ran contacted me. They wanted … Continue reading

Vogue Italia Mi Amore
If you haven’t heard already, Vogue Italia’s most recent issue is titled “Rebranding Africa”, and from what I’m reading it hasn’t managed to save the continent. My issue hasn’t turned up yet of course, the post must have been delayed. … Continue reading
Alien Fruit II
Six years and two months ago I was in Lima, aged 18 and enjoying the tail end of a very good gap year. I posted on my blog (which was called Eloquencias, despite being nothing of the sort) something about … Continue reading

The Faces Of This Is Uganda
During the This is Uganda festival last Saturday I put up a bit of cloth backstage and shot portraits of some of the performers (it was easier in the early afternoon when it was less busy, so there’s nobody featured … Continue reading

BIRDS.
I was in the Ssese Islands over the weekend to shoot something for a UN publication on the subject of the HIV/AIDS rate amongst the fishing communities there, and I did the work. However (as Andrew Green, the writer I … Continue reading

We Go, We Go…
Yesterday was one of the most fun days I have ever had. The Uganda Cranes playing the Kenya Harambee Stars at Namboole Stadium, Kampala, and I had press passes. Absolutely wonderful. I’d never been to a large football game before, … Continue reading

Introducing Kombi Nation Tours!

Today’s Cliché
It’s one of those things- if you’re surrounded by soldiers, OF COURSE you’re going to get a picture with them. This is the latest addition to my photo album. This is for my niece Sophie, who apparently doesn’t understand why … Continue reading
Happy Birthday South Sudan
I have seen RPGs before. They’re funny because they look like toys. A gun is a gun, but an RPG is a stick with a rugby ball on the end and it looks comic unless it’s pointed at you. What … Continue reading

Through the Window
Riding in a campaign motorcade is an experience which is hard to quickly summarize. There is a constant din of horns, the cars swerve constantly and whenever they stop there is a flurry of activity as the security personnel jump … Continue reading
Slumberland Hotel, Arua
I’ve noticed a certain amount of traffic reaching this blog via the search term ‘Slumberland Hotel Arua’. I stayed at the Slumberland and I suppose it would be remiss of me not to do a brief review for the benefit … Continue reading

Shooting For The Busoga Trust
I’ve recently done a little work for the Busoga Trust, a water and sanitation NGO working in Uganda. It’s been brilliant work (though I still have to get down there to finish off!), and such a worthwhile charity. More pictures … Continue reading

How Ugandan Roads Work (at least, according to me)
Having recently had my first proper car crash (not too bad and no injuries, but still an eye-opener) I decided I would make up for the lack of recent posts by writing a big one on the subject of cars … Continue reading
