As I’m reading about Elon Musk and the US Government’s attempt to shut down USAID, I was reminded of this picture I shot while on assignment in Haiti. It’s a young boy standing beside his shelter made from repurposed USAID sacks. Musk deems this an unnecessary expense.

In diplomatic circles this would probably be categorised as a ‘robust difference of opinion’!

I just came across this picture in a box of old papers. It’s from 1952. It’s my father in the centre. This was while he served in Korea. He was such a young man here.
He never spoke about his experiences there, but he looks really happy here and that makes me glad.
I miss him tremendously.

Like many, I’ve held a romantic fascination for Coney Island since I first watched ‘The Warriors’ as a kid.
I’ve punished my body many times on this thing too!

There doesn’t seem to be a starter pack for UK-based press photographers and photojournalists so have started one just here. Drop me a line if you think you fit the bill and want to be added.

Here a couple of pictures of Trump that I’ve shot over the years. The first one is probably the most seen picture I’ve ever shot. It’s been used everywhere. The second one I like because he just looks small and insignificant. If only! #photography #photojournalism
