Tempting offer, 10k’s a steal. Unfortunately I’ll be too busy running my own workshop, a tour – I mean a documentary photography workshop – in the inner city slums of Nottingham, Britain’s hardest city. Voted Gun Crime Capital of the World (I need to check this) in 2003, Nottingham is where the industry’s elite cut their teeth. The only reason Don McCullin went to Bradford is that he was too scared to go to Nottingham.

This tour – I mean workshop – will offer YOU the opportunity to come face to face with real poverty and risk, that’s right, D*A*N*G*E*R which is what war photography is all about. As such, it’s up to you to arrange your own life insurance, body armour, and embed with coalition troops. You will also need to bring your own food, water and camera. Please ensure that you are completely familiar with all your camera’s functions, especially the one that can identify faces and eliminate red-eye. You will need at least a compact camera or preferably a bridge camera, so leave your iPhone at home. We are going to be creating Hard Hitting images which make A Difference, and above all I will be guiding you through the ethics of documentary photojournalism. When is it appropriate to form a disorderly scrum around a starving person who’s lost everything they own? You don’t know, do you? Well, my tour – workshop – will help you to find out.

A percentage of all profits will be donated to the Nottingham in Bloom, so you know I’m legit.

yes Daniel…I don’t think we want your sort on this death cruise. You could bring the whole thing into disrepute.

Daniel, I’m a bit worried you don’t seem to be taking this very seriously?

King of the world! Is there a wet bar? Or will our Somali hosts provide that? And are we free to convert them?
