  • A Yakutian reindeer herder makes camp for the night, eastern Siberia, Russia 2012. #photography
  • One of my favourite images from Afghanistan. I took this back in 2011 when visiting the Wakhi tribe in the Wakhan corridor in the North West of the country. It’s one of the most remote parts of the world and inhabited only by nomads and pastoralists. Both the wakhi and Kyrgyz people are excellent horsemen and the national sport is buzkashi, similar to polo except they use a dead goat #walkingthehimalayas #itsmeanttobeblurry #photography #afghanistan #wakhancorridor #horse
  • ‪Today is world rhino day, please join me in supporting the great work being done by @tusk_org #WorldRhinoDay2018 ‬

  • A few days ago I experienced two very different human interactions. The first, open kindness and generosity from a stranger, the second a bitter and spiteful attack from a friend. One lifted me, whilst the other set me spiralling in a negative vortex of introspection. The stranger drove me in a jeep-taxi to Monte Piana. During WW1 around 14 000 soldiers died on it’s summit which is still riddled with a vast network of ruined trenches. We chatted about history and what brought me to the dolomites. When I caught the last jeep back to Misurina he said he had a special gift for me. After rummaging in the back of the jeep he gave me two empty cases that he had found in the trenches after rain; one Austrian, one Italian. My immediate reaction was keen interest, excitement even. A little later I started to feel uneasy about my reaction to something which is deeply sad. Two empty shells... a cold, hard connection to an inescapable past. Maybe they missed their targets, but maybe they didn’t, and now I hold them in my hand and I can’t stop thinking... I look back at the events of WW1 and I can’t connect, can’t comprehend this other time. Then I remember the unforgiving, bitter and deliberately hurtful words of my friend and it upsets me even more because I know that the seed of the madness of war is within all of us... #twoemptyshells #thoughtfulgifts #friendsandenemies #ww1history #forgiveness #compassion #wheredowegofromhere #learnfromhistory #friendshipworthfightingfor #makeamends
