Abandoned house in Belgium from our trip this weekend. I'd already shot this room and was happy with the shot, but then the sun came out and this glorious light beam shot down from the ceiling, me James and Sam ran round the room kicking up the dust and soon it was full of them. One of those beautifully, surreal moments and totally breathtaking.

The exhibition Recaptioning Congo at FOMU presents images from Congo’s long and turbulent history as a colonised country, spanning nearly 100 years from its formal establishment in 1882 to independence in 1960. The exhibition shows the contrasting perspectives of African and European photographers. The exhibition is very revealing and at times shocking… FOMU, Antwerp, Belgium

This is a Panya Ngombe mask which is reserved for chiefs. Although the mask has almost vanished, sculptors continue to represent it in the lintel of the door to the the chief's ritual house. Some, like this one, are made for the international art market.
The design of this mask combines surreal and cubist elements. Picasso, Mattisse and others were inspired by African masks and some art critics believe that cubism was heavily influenced by African art. This is a particularly nice example because of the symmetry and grace of the carving.

In the southern corner of Armstrong Park is Congo Square, an open space where the enslaved and free people of color gathered throughout the 19th century for meetings, open markets, and the African dance and drumming celebrations that played a substantial role in the development of jazz. Local voodoo practitioners still consider Congo Square a spiritual base and gather at the Square for rituals.

So many people have asked the story behind this photo and interpreted the expression and demeanor of this man in their own way, that I'd be remiss to share too much.
