I am an independent photojournalist focused for many years on the #environment, #humanrights, #socialjustice, #detention, #housing, #gentrification and #precariousworkers.
I also love to talk about languages and translation, the arts and all that the countryside has to offer.

Off to a good home to help teach darkroom photography to a keen new owner, my last 35mm camera. A Canon EOS 30, introduced in 2000.
I ran a roll of Fuji Neopan Pro 400 through it and it's still going strong after backpacking around India, Egypt, Peru, Bolivia, Mongolia, Cuba, China, Cambodia, Albania and Russia among others and, probably more to the point, despite not having been used for almost 15 years.
London, UK. 16th November, 2022. Environmental campaigners, including Druid leader King Arthur Pendragon, together with local residents, gather in the Colne Valley to find out more about the impact of construction works for the HS2 high-speed rail link on the aquifer and London's drinking water. King Arthur Pendragon carries out a blessing of the water.
