This woman is a victim of a seemingly never ending war in southern congo. She has suffered sexual violence (rape) so severe it has rendered her incontinent. She now exists purely as a result of a courageous charity called Heal Africa, and indeed her own inner strength and faith. I asked her if I could take her portrait and she stood up (which must have been painful), straightened her back and stared straight down the lens. No stopping to straighten her scarf, no preening, no fear. Just an honesty so raw, so uninhibited and so rare, I caught my breath and thought I’d never breath again. I was totally overpowered by her intensity. After I took the shot and showed it to her she smiled and thanked me. It still gives me a shiver to look at it now. HEAL Africa calendar available now!!!

You want honesty? You want real? You want ‘straight up?’ / Go to a place where there’s no pretention. Where there’s no walls. Where there’s only windows. / Go to a place where even amongst the have-nots there are some who have-not as much as others. / Go there right now in your mind and tell me you’re not affected by what you see. / Then spare a thought for those who have not much more than the desire to dream. And cherish your ability to do so. x All profits to healafrica.org

This is a compilation I have done with Rebecca Zachariah after our trip to Rwanda. In a nation of shattered souls post genocide, hope remains in the form of new life. These people have witnessed death on massive scale. You can see how precious they consider life from this shot. ALL PROCEEDS TO HEAL AFRICA HEAL Africa calendar available now!!!

She was very proud of her umbrella. What can I say?

I just love this shot. It wasn’t taken by me, it was taken by the lovely Cliff Seto. A lot of people have asked what it was like in Africa and this shot sums it up so beautifully. We have arrived here at a pygmy village. Many of them haven’t seen white people (or on mass like this anyway). They have been saved by heal africa, who has bought them land because they are constantly harassed by militia and others. Killed, raped, starved etc. They are trying to change centuries old traditions of jungle habitation and killing animals for food with subsistance farming. Heal Africa is teaching them. The huts you see are what they live in (the militia had forced them off this land prior to us getting there and burnt down their huts but they had returned). So let me direct you around the shot. That’s me with my hat turned backwards taking a shot. And yes I have the world’s biggest camera bag because anything of any value has to be on you at all times in Congo. The woman with the visor is my gorgeous big sister who works with Aid groups for a living. Next to her is her husband, Mick who was a volunteer Doctor on the trip. The lady in the blue top & the orange and black backpack with her back to camera is the wonderful Rebecca Zachariah. Another volunteer Doctor/Surgeon. This is her fourth AID trip and she’s going again next year. She has her brilliant pictures on Red Bubble too. The lady in the pink top is Lucy Hobgood-Brown who runs a charity called Hand Up Congo. And the lady to the right of frame is Kath. She’s and ex-teacher who is a superstar on these trips. Shortly after I took the shot I’m composing here I took off my hat because it was hot. The kids freaked and ran for their lives until I coaxed them back. Sometimes I forget how fair I am! Then Rebecca gave them a bit of a fright because the only thing they see less than fair aussies is someone with an asian appearance!! Anyway we were soon all best friends.

This intimate, bright yet dark, static yet flowing, autumn themed image was made in Baxter State Park, Maine, USA in October 2006. I like the contrast of the flowing water beneath the still branches, the pop of color from the remaining birch leaves, and the juxtaposition of the branch atop the stream in tone and color! /

Dried honesty found on a walk around the park. There’s something so faery and otherworldly about the flat, transparent discs of parchment thin seed heads on this plant, also known as Moonwort or the Silver Dollar plant.

The Vissudha or Throat chakra is associated with the color sky blue. This chakra is our will center. The healthfulness of the fifth chakra is in relation to how honestly one expresses himself/herself. It is associated to the ‘Ether’ element and facilitates higher communication, proper judgment, ideal resolutions, release of temerity and development of self-expression.

I see you. / I see who you are. / I see right through you to the place you never dare go. You might fool yourself and others, but you can’t fool me. / You cannot hide behind your facades and your lies, / for the truth is always clear from where my vision dwells. / I am the Earth, the Sea and the Sky, and / the wings that carry your spirit through time. / I am the voice that speaks through silence / and the movement you feel only in your heart. / I am the one who flies beyond. / I see you. / How does that make you feel? The Wedge-tailed Eagle – Aquila audax – is Australia’s largest living bird of prey. It can measure over one meter in length with a wingspan of well over two meters. TO many cultures, the Eagle is very symbolic of Spirit and Spiritual truth. Eagle speaks of great personal power and wisdom, and the voice of truth and conscience. / Eagle is my totem animal, and is always there when I need to be reminded to “look up” or be more true to myself and the moment.

We all hide behind masks, / some more than others. / Scared of what others might think or say. / It is bravery to drop the mask / It takes courage to stand in the open / It takes guts to speak ones truth. / It takes warriors of the spirit / We can all be that / If we are willing to risk. Combined two photos in photoshop.
