For my final MA project, I'll be looking at the Khwe people who inhabit Southern Africa. The San, who are also called the Khwe (Khoe), Basarwa or Bushman, are nomadic hunter gatherers in Southern Africa. In the past hundred years, the San have experienced substantial changes to their nomadic lifestyles. As Southern Africa resolves decades of oppression and white rule, the struggle by the San ...
Flickr have recently announced that their relationship with Getty Images has been extended. Initially, only a select number of photographers had the ability to add images from their Flickr stream into the Getty collection. The process was rather simple: Getty employees would trawl through Flickr and look for images that would sell. A handful of images of mine were selected and I decided to see ...
The discerning British Journal of Photography graciously decided I was good enough to grace their newly designed web site and magazine with my Afrikaner project. To say I'm happy is an understatement, this man is over the moon at though of being included in such a prestigious publication. Many thanks to Diane Smyth over at the BJP for the interview.

A while back, Burma Issues, asked me if they could use one of the images I took inside a Burmese garment factory for a cover of their latest publication. It was recently published and I'm glad to be associated with an NGO looking after issues relating to Burmese citizens. You can read the PDF here. Hopefully I'll be back inside Burma finishing off ...
I've always had a soft spot for the magazine, it was always a companion when having Dim Sum in New World on a Saturday morning. It was quintessentially British in approach. The articles were well written and cut through the crap that many others failed to do. When the BJP decided to relaunch as a monthly magazine, I was intrigued as to how they'd ...
The prestigious BBC News have decided to run with my FRAG multimedia piece about Durban's growing E-sports athletes. This not only puts a massive smile on my face but also makes it worth the effort doing what we do. A big thank you has to go out to Phil Coomes, Picture Editor at the BBC. A few pints are now owed.

For many fans, the World Cup being held in June and July will be an event out of their reach, no thanks to FIFA's aggressive attitude to pricing and ease of availability for tickets. These are the voices of a handful of fans interviewed about how they felt about the World Cup. ...
Julius, you will never cease to give us more creative input than any other politician out there. In the spirit of Ubuntu, I've decided to create a collective that makes all 'Bloody Agent's feel at home, especially those bastards, small boys and other people with tendencies. We now have a soundtrack (not sure who created this, but you will be receiving a ...
Where I do see the potential is with thousands of freelance documentary photographers like myself being able to produce and upload content that works perfectly on the iPad. The New York Times are already seeing this as a new revenue stream, and rightly so, their iPhone application has over three million downloads. When last did you hear of any publication having 3 million new orders? ...
Peter Sunde isn't known for his approach at ensuring content creators get rewarded for their work. The Pirate Bay, which doesn't host any illegal content but happens to point to where you can find said content, is a prime example of taking content for free. Putting that aside, his latest project, Flattr, has me rather excited. It's nothing new, the concept of micro payments has been around for a while now. Sellaband, ...
