There are so many ways to express faith…

Kneeling in prayer

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!

Yesterday images from my project, The Europeans, were featured on the New York Times Lens Blog. Needless to say I’m pretty excited that my work is reaching a larger audience.

Yesterday images from my project, The Europeans, were featured on the New York Times Lens Blog. Needless to say I’m pretty excited that my work is reaching a larger audience. I’ve been working on this project for the past seven years and there have been many times where I felt I was toiling in obscurity to say the least. Getting a little recognition every now and then feels good.

And then you go back to work. Photographing in small churches, walking down lonely lanes and living the same life you did before. I’ve always felt I was incredibly lucky to be able to do this work on my own terms. I’m going to continue being lucky as long as I can…

Brian Haw. London 2005

Sadly last year Brian [...]]]> 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.

Stay tuned for images…

Heathrow Airport. May 2012

Where’s the party at?

I used to rarely shoot through windows, now I do it much more often…

Keeping with our theme on Friday of rarely seen work I direct you to some of the images I took in Slovakia…

When I started this blog it was less with the idea of showing what I happened to be shooting that day or that week but to give people an opportunity to see the breadth of my images. Some people only know me for my work in Rwanda for example. Others might be [...]]]>

Barcelona, October 2009

When I started this blog it was less with the idea of showing what I happened to be shooting that day or that week but to give people an opportunity to see the breadth of my images. Some people only know me for my work in Rwanda for example. Others might be more familiar with some of my work from Europe. It’s funny how people assume that all you do is one thing, though I suppose that is the trend in photography right now.

I love photojournalism because it gives me the opportunity to photograph lots of different people, places and situations. So from now I will try to share at least one photograph a week from my archives. I hope you enjoy!

Ladies [...]]]> Looks like this week’s theme is going to be religion, or at least Christianity. Good Friday is a big deal around here and I had a chance to photograph a Catholic procession here in Barcelona. On Sunday I also went to a pentecostal church which you will see images from later in the week.

Ladies in mourning. Good Friday 2001, Barcelona.

On Sunday I attended a debate between the candidates running for mayor of Barcelona. It was in Catalan so I only got bits and pieces but there were a few interesting images to be had.
