Celebrating Pentecost 2012

There are so many ways to express faith…

What have I been up to here in London you wonder? Good question!

Well I have been spending a lot of time at church! Last week I attended Pentecost 2012, a large celebration here in London. I’ve also been spending time at Shekhinah Glory of The Living God - a branch of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. It’s a small church but a great example of how intent these evangelists are on spreading their faith.

I will continue to share images with you over the next few days!

Return Engagement

After a seven year absence I am back in London. When I began The Europeans my hope was not simply to capture Europe as it is but also as it changes over time. This week I returned to Parliament Square where I first met anti-war activist Brian Haw.

Sadly last year Brian died after more than ten years of spreading his message. I returned to the spot where I first met him and was pleasantly surprised to find that the movement has outlived the man.

Often I meet and photograph people having no idea of how important they are or will be to me or others. This project has been a real journey of discovery for me and perhaps more than anything has forced me to realize just how interconnected we are and the impact we have on each other’s lives.

It has been quiet here on the blog lately but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy! I’m heading to London soon to get to work on documenting the spread of Pentecostalism in Europe but I have also been preparing for my upcoming show in Barcelona this June. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer!

After a long delay I’m finally getting around to revamping damaso.com! So I will be off the grid for a while a slave to my computer while I make everything nice a tidy…

A church that became a mosque and then a museum. Sounds about right…

City of Cats

I can’t say I’ve ever been in a city with so many feral, and apparently well fed and friendly, cats as there are in Istanbul.

Prrrrrr....
