Just got back from a photo shoot in East Africa. The Black Rhino is the most endangered of the Big Five animals. This magnificent and gentle herbivore is being slaughtered relentlessly for its horn. Horns belong on Rhinos, not 'medicinal' shelves. We must stop this senseless trade before it is too late. Visit my website to see more Rhino and other wildlife photos and information.

Who knows where this will end... but I know I'm growing weary of the whole thing. And there is no escape!
A goalie statue at St George's Park, "the home of English football". This work of sculptor Vivien Mallock commemorates Arthur Wharton the world's first black professional footballer from late 19th century. Meant to inspire everyone in the game for ethnic and racial unity, it has poignant overtones in the light of the latest racist episode with Chelsea fans in Paris :(

In the previous weeks Israel had began forcible evictions of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of Jerusalem. Since 1967, the goal of Israeli nationalists - as part of their ambition to create a greater Israel from the Mediterranean to the river Jordan, continually backed policies to build illegal settlements around the neighbourhood with the ultimate intention of expelling Palestinians from Jerusalem.
Taken at one of London's largest protests in many years as tens of thousands set off across Hyde Park for the Israeli Embassy in Kensington. Demonstrators were angry over Israel's illegal occupation, forced evictions, the Gaza blockade, the devastating air strikes including attacks on tower blocks and the international media and the country's continued defiance of international law. More of my photos of the protest to follow shortly.
"Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he would send the crowds away. After sending the crowds away he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, while the boat, by now far out on the lake, was battling with a heavy sea, for there was a head-wind. In the fourth watch of the night he went towards them, walking on the lake, and when the disciples saw him walking on the lake they were terrified. ‘It is a ghost’ they said, and cried out in fear. But at once Jesus called out to them, saying, ‘Courage! It is I! Do not be afraid.’ It was Peter who answered. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘if it is you, tell me to come to you across the water.’ ‘Come’ said Jesus. Then Peter got out of the boat and started walking towards Jesus across the water, but as soon as he felt the force of the wind, he took fright and began to sink. ‘Lord! Save me!’ he cried. Jesus put out his hand at once and held him. ‘Man of little faith,’ he said ‘why did you doubt?’ And as they got into the boat the wind dropped. The men in the boat bowed down before him and said, ‘Truly, you are the Son of God.’
Having made the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret. When the local people recognised him they spread the news through the whole neighbourhood and took all that were sick to him, begging him just to let them touch the fringe of his cloak. And all those who touched it were completely cured."
– Matthew 14:22-36, which is today's Gospel at Mass.

"To me this is like the days of Noah,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.
So now I have sworn not to be angry with you,
never to rebuke you again.
Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
[Isaiah 54:9-10 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
The consumer instant print offers a texture, tonal range, and color space unequaled and represents a unique photographic medium. These and other distinctive characteristics have inspired and been employed by countless photographic craftspersons in their work. I have come to admire these qualities and unexpected attributes as a preference for my photographic work. Without access to the variety of instant film types that are offered by Polaroid a large part of my photographic exploration will be halted. These are things that offer me great inspiration and fulfillment, not to mention instant analog gratification, which cannot be underestimated... I am currently in production of a photographic book of my instant print work due out in April of this year.
In the digital age, at the end of the photographic print, generations from now the family photo album will be thrown out with the PC and the SD. Polaroid represents, along with the standard film print, the physical archival of images and the tactical access to unadulterated visual information for and by the the individual. These instant moments are the things that would generaly go un-archived or even un-photographed in other formats, do to the stigmatic wake of the fleeting moment. Yet years later these instant impulses become treasured artifacts representing the true nature of ourselves and those we love.
The end of the instant print will represent a further retreat of traditional photographic technique and options, in the interest of the bottom line and fleeting lower quality digital imaging. There is and will be, in the foreseeable future, a sustainable market for these instant analogue options, whether it will be tapped to the benefit of potential providers and enthusiasts remains to be seen.

These mud daubers eat spiders. Some even specialize in Black Widows. They DO NOT bother humans. Don't disturb their nests. They are helping you out.

You know when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be – white dress, prince charming who'd carry you away to a castle on a hill. You'd lie in your bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa clause, the tooth fairy, prince charming –they were so close you could taste them. But eventually you grow up and one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true.
At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale is slightly different than your dream. The castle, well it may not be a castle. And it's not so important that it's happily ever after – just that it's happy right now. See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in a while, people may even take your breath away.
