Mummification was a very important element of the Papuan culture, the preserved body of a village’s big man, an elder, chief or a great warrior was regarded as a link with ancestors. The process involved hanging the corpse in a specially build house over a fire, and smoking it continuously for up to a year. Indonesians regarded the tradition as barbaric, prohibited the procedure, confiscated and destroyed most of the mummies in the area. This is one of three survivors in the Baliem valley. Photo: a real smoked Papuan 300 years old mummy. / Smoke and glow (embers) added digitally. Baliem valley, 15 km from Wamena, Irian Jaya (Indonesian Papua).

The smoking process doesn’t protect from rodents though – you can see the teeth-marks all over the hands of the mummy. Baliem valley, 15 km from Wamena, Irian Jaya (Indonesian Papua).

I felt inspired to do a teddy bear picture after realising how much of a part teddies played in my life. My parents bought me a teddy for my first Christmas (1950) and it survived until I grew up, then went to live on top of a wardrobe (Teddy, not me) in my parents’ bedroom. After they died I couldn’t find it, so my Dad must have binned it … what a way to go after 37 years of being part of the family :-( I have always liked Winnie the Pooh (the original Ernest Shepard drawings) and Paddington Bear and Garfield, etc. I was inspired to include the box of chocolates because a young woman I sometimes exchange Bubblemails with often mentions chocolates. I’m deliberately not saying who she is and then dozens of women will Bubblemail me saying, “Is it me? I like chocolate” :)) I am offering copies of this picture for sale as cards, so if you know anyone who loves teddy bears AND chocolate … roll up and buy one :)) FEATURED BY ILLUSTRATION GROUP – 19th May 2008

From a film shoot I did in China and this lady is an extra on set. I was struck first by the light and what made it perfect for me was her position, her pose was so of the period. The way she sits so “proper”.

This makes me want to cry as I find it very moving. A tiny baby moorhen flaps its wings to get its Mummy to give it a worm for tea. You can just make out tiny prehistoric-like claws on the end of its little wings. Adorable. Taken with Nikon D50 using 70-400mm lens.
