I hear those who have bought the book are happily surprised about how quickly it arrived. Some reported four days from purchase to delivery – in another country – inclusive of printing. (It’s a print-on-demand solution).

An Acid River Runs Through It is a factual photo book about mine water pollution in South Africa. It addresses questions like: What is acid mine drainage? How did it start? Who is affected? It’s hoped that the pictures, interviews and text could help bring about awareness and discussion about the urgency of the situation.

Just launched an Acid river runs through it, an outdoor photography exhibition about acid mine drainage – water pollution caused by historic- and some current mining activities – and how it affects water sources and communities in South Africa. Staged a 67.5 meter-long exhibition in Davidsonsville, Johannesburg, one of the affected communities featured in the story, this weekend.

Working on a project …
It’s funny how the blog went quiet, just as I, in earnest, started shooting the project I’d been researching for some months. I’m still at it. Between assignments, I’m driving around the South African countryside. Mostly for very long day trips outside Johannesburg, but now gearing up for a mini-expedition, driving north. Me, myself, and I, and my camera (that’s a crowd in my little car!) and whoever I meet along the way. Yes I’m being cryptic. The essay should be finished for exhibition around May 2015…
Meet the spud ladies
Check the fab spud ladies I met in Ethiopia. These women will probably bring a smile to your face. They do to mine.
A fly on the wall …
Or a mosquito one would like to swat away perhaps? – me that is, photographer and videographer for this interview with Malawian President Joyce Banda at the Presidential Palace in Lilongwe. It’s very interesting to sit face to face with those in the hot seat (re Cashgate and related) to get your own, direct impression.
Telegraph Correspondent Aislinn Laing is interviewing the President. Here are the related stories…
