Candid street photography and reportage from Glasgow, Scotland. Capturing a counter-rally against the Scottish Defence League who had arranged to protest against immigration.
The dejected faces here seem to be summing up more recent events following the EU Referendum. With 'Britain' voting to leave the European Union but the whole of Scotland voting to remain. I feel that another independence referendum is not only on the horizon, but is needed.
I would love to keep politics out of this but I am desperately saddened by events today and am ashamed to have been born 'British'. I hope that the Brexit voters are happy with a pound at its lowest since 1985.

We have been moved by the recent scenes of migrants arriving in Europe. That’s why we have decided to bring together around twenty musicians who are refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tibet. We have assembled a group of virtuoso performers from different regions of the world who have put down roots in Belgium and who hope to make their voices heard through their music. Our objective is to reveal talents and cultural treasures that have become virtually invisible in Belgium. These are experienced musicians who have been trained at some of the most prestigious music academies in the Middle East (Damascus, Baghdad, Aleppo) and who have passed through a string of musical centres dotted along the former Silk road.
These talents form the basis of the project that we are launching with them. Together, we aim to develop a project that will help them to find their place and reconstruct their lives in Belgium. Their CD builds bridge between the musicians and the different traditions they represent, in order to produce an album that is rich, innovative and a mark of diversity and cultural exchange
Sainte-Flavie, Quebec.
This composition utilizes photos I took of "Le Grand Rassemblement," a sculptural installation created by Marcel Gagnon for Le Centre d’Art Marcel Gagnon de Sainte-Flavie, Quebec. The original sculptures, mounted on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, are constructed from wood, cement, rope and other textiles.

An old acquaintance from Almuñecar. He spoke good English so he was the one who mediated the contact with the other refugees from Senegal. There were some good portraits of the acquaintance.
He and the other refugees had set off from Senegal to the Canary Islands. A few hours before they arrived, they ran out of gas.
- What did you do then, I asked.
- We called 113, he replied. .
In the city of Athens many refugee families try to make a new start or find a way and power to continue.
The war images, will never be forgotten

Algeria, 2015
Every my visit, I ask my husband to go to Casbah of Algiers, he resists as he can but sometimes I win. Casbah, unkile other parts of Algiers, is quite famous to be unsafe place especially for a rare tourist. However, it is extremely attractive. Unfortunately, as a tourist I cant assess all risks reasonably and have just to follow my husband.
Last time, when I ve been taking this shot, two youngsters run from behind and proposed to show us some nice hidden places to take a photograph. At that moment, my husband immediately took me away from Casbah, he said that probably it was a trap organized by their elder friends to pick my camera, at best... Almost 2 months passed after this moment, but I still wonder - what was the chance that it was so? May be my hasband just overestimated the risks? Would I follow them if I was alone? In Bangladesh I ve done almost the same and really enjoyed it, is Bangladesh safer then Casbah of Algiers or am I just lucky? At least for the last question I'd prefer to think - no...

I think these are Chionodoxas, also known as glory-of-the- snow. They grow in my garden although I have never planted them there. My neighbour had many of them years ago and some of them decided to settle down on my side of the fence. That was shortly before the neighbour redesigned his garden and all of these flowers disappeared but the refugees still flower every year in early spring.
This photo was taken during the March Against Racism in central London on Saturday on 18 March. Many activists were furious at the new anti-immigration legislation which is clearly in breach of international law.
Although there are no legal routes available to refugees from many Asian and African countries suffering from conflict and murderous repressive regimes, the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, is overseeing legislation which will criminalize refugees risking their lives at sea to reach relative safety. They will now have their asylum claims denied as inadmissible.
As marchers reached Downing Street, Braverman was thousands of miles away in Rwanda, reaffirming the UK's commitment to illegally expelling refugees to the impoverished country, which itself has a poor human rights record.
I asked ChatGPT to write 10 reasons why welcoming refugees is beneficial to society. Although I share many people's concerns about what the impact of this technology might be, I was fairly impressed by its reply -
1. Boosts economy: Refugees have the potential to contribute to the economy by starting businesses, creating jobs, and adding to the workforce.
2. Increases cultural diversity: Refugees come from different cultural backgrounds and can enrich society's cultural diversity by sharing their traditions, customs, and experiences.
3. Fosters empathy and understanding: Welcoming refugees can help increase empathy and understanding among people from different backgrounds, leading to harmony and greater social cohesion.
4. Strengthens our humanitarian values: Taking in refugees is a reflection of our commitment to human rights and humanitarian obligations, and it demonstrates solidarity with those who are suffering and seeking safety.
5. Tackles brain drain in developing countries: Some refugees may have high levels of education and skills that are needed in their home countries. By providing opportunities for them to work and contribute in host countries, they can then return and help rebuild their communities.
6. Reduces conflict: By providing a safe haven for refugees, host communities can play a role in reducing the levels of conflict and instability that can lead to forced displacement.
7. Brings new perspectives and ideas: Refugees can bring fresh perspectives, ideas, and expertise that can help drive innovation and progress in various fields.
8. Strengthens global solidarity: By welcoming refugees, host countries demonstrate a commitment to global solidarity and cooperation, which can help build bridges across borders.
9. Helps to maximize their potential: Providing support and resources to refugees can help maximize their potential and enable them to contribute to their host communities in meaningful ways.
10. Enhances international relationships: Building positive relationships with refugees and their home countries can lead to new opportunities for cultural exchange, trade, and diplomacy, which can facilitate greater cooperation between nations.
Apologies if some of the photographs in this series are clearly overexposed, which is due to my own stupidity and negligence as I forgot to reset the white balance after some indoor photography.
From the website:
Add Color (Refugee Boat) (1960/2019) is an interactive installation conceived of by visual artist Yoko Ono. Upon opening, the work will be comprised simply of a boat placed within an empty space. The public will then be invited to paint their thoughts, ideas and hopes on the walls, floor and boat. As the installation progresses, messages will be written in support, contrast and literal obfuscation of one another, moving the space from visual calm to a layered visual chaos – a beautiful sea of color from afar, a more restless reality upon closer inspection. Freely imbued in this way with a multiplicity of thoughts, each time Add Color (Refugee Boat) is shown it both shares in the memory of past iterations, while taking on a life and a meaning of its own - acutely reflecting the time, place and people that come together to create it.

Portrait of an Egyptian refugee in his sleeping room, in the dirty, abandoned, unfinished and unsafe officeblock where he lives. In 1998, just 16 years old, S. landed in Italy after he sailed saveral days in the Mediterranean sea on a inflatable boat. Once reached Lampedusa Island (100 km from Tunisia, 200 from Italy) he was moved to a refugee camp in Sicily. He escaped from the camp and finally, catching a ferry, arrived in Europe.
the calais refugee camp in france held 10000 people in 2016, many of whom attempted to get to the uk by illegally boarding trains
these photos were taken between france and the uk with a camera fixed to one such train filming at 1 frame every 10 seconds
the resulting unedited random images are an attempt to recreate the glimpses of the outside world as seen by these stowaways
of the 1.2 million migrants who tried to reach europe in 2016, over 5000 died en route - 100 for each photo in the series
