Cebu is covered in my new book Queen of the South. It contains 66 B&W-photographs of natural beauty, grungy cities and interesting people in the Visayas in the Philippines.
Queen of the South is sold at cost price with a small mark-up. The mark-up will benefit in full some of the slum dwellers featured in the book and in this set.
Besides via Blurb, you can now also purchase the book via Amazon. There is a premium, however, and you cannot choose a hardcover edition.
Promo for Vans trainers, Market St, Arndale, Manchester, uk. Enthusiasm, incentive and balls required to wear an advertising motif such as this (imho). These young people were advertising "Vans" trainers when they were approached by an Arndale security guard. No prizes for guessing what the security gaurd was saying...
'You can't do that in here...'
...the sketch where Eric Idle goes up to John Cleese, who is dressed as a policeman, and says... after a suitably comedic pause: "So, erm, you, erm, wanna come back to my place then?"
To which Cleese just nonchantly replies:
"Yeah, OK then..."
... and off they walk.
Dunno why it reminded me of that. Guess it was just the way the guard on the left was looking at the other one.
Car in the background is annoying but the fella only turned to his right for a split-second.

Night Watchman
Clyde M Brewer, 36 years old, works the graveyard shift. He is the night watchman. It was his lucky evening. The day shift left a box of donuts in the lunchroom. It is three o’clock in the morning and he has five more hours to go. He is bored out of his skull. He knocked off his sixth donut of the evening and washed it down with a tepid cup of thermos java. He fired up a Pell Mell king size non filter with his trusty brass zippo. It was the last one in the pack. It is a good thing he had a fresh pack in his vest, he thought, as he tapped his pocket to make sure that the next 20 “Red Deaths” were there. They were. He felt secure knowing he had a fresh pack to help him make through the night. He crushed the empty pack and flipped it toward the garbage cans. He missed his target but hit one of the cats. The cat arched his back, hissed and to off running into the shadows. Brewer coughed and hacked up a gob of lung gunk and spit it on to the tracks. When he was finished with the smoke, he ground the butt out with the toe of his shoe. He stood silent, arms akimbo, and observed the area for a few minutes. All was quiet. He took the fresh pack from his vest and went through an elaborate ritual opening the pack. He took out a smoke, fired it up, and took a deep drag, then another before flipping the butt onto the tracks. He contemplated going down to the lunchroom and snagging another donut. A filled maple bar this time, he thought. He looked at his Timex. It was six minutes past three in the morning. He had four hours and fifty four minutes to go.

Giant flower pot on Sveta Nedelya Square in Sofia, Bulgaria. As I was taking this picture, the security guard on the left walked over to me and started talking to me in Bulgarian. I conveyed the fact that I was a foreign tourist and he smiled and walked back.

They make sure that everything is in order and that no one is smoking nor drinking in the area where the audience listens to the concerts.
Driver's view from inside a vehicle as a young, male police officer reaches in for your license. You better hope you weren't doing something wrong, or you're in trouble now.
Manila's 'King of the Road' is the Jeepney.
In between harassment from SM security guards with delusions of granduer, a few shots of these colourful icons were grabbed.
Security guard on duty at the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in London. In the foreground there is a large heat-sensitive floor which is part of an exhibit, which subsequently opened, by artist Tania Bruguera in which visitors use their body heat to reveal a hidden portrait of Yousef, a young man who left Syria to come to London.
The ID controls have been made by Securitas, a security company. The guards were hired on three month contract. This man will go on doing regular patrol guarding on a bike around Copenhagen, but he was lucky. Many more will loose their job.

As soon as the security guard spotted me walk up to the 'caution' tape and saw my camera, he notified me that I'm not allowed to take pictures of the building. I should print this out and give it to him.
A day at the races. Waiting for the horses to exit the stables and enter the parading area. Next Saturday is the big one. Wellington Cup day. Trentham Race Course.
Let me introduce the most multi-role person you will hear about today.
Habibur Rahman is a former soldier who retired from Bangladesh Army as a sergeant. Now he is a security commander at Social Islami Bank Limited headquarters situated at the tallest structure in Bangladesh. He is also the Muezzin, curator, and an occasional Imam of the bank’s central Masjid.
Due to multiple titles and names by many ranks of the organisation, his name has been now simplified to “Habib Bhai”, which is “Brother Habib” in English.
Habib bhai was trimming his beard this morning when I paid a visit at the Masjid. His candid profile as well as the meticulous light (masha Allah) kind of drove me to draw my phone out of pocket like a silent assassin does with his gun after finding the target. And what you see is the moment when he noticed after a few shots that he got company despite an oversize me within a yard. No, I don’t doubt his military instincts.
