Where I ended up was the small but popular gallery beneath the OXO Tower, only 10 minutes from where I started. The building used to be [...] …to show you the importance of stepping back, and slowing down. …and sometimes we don’t even need a human being to take it. ADAM WESTBROOK Share on Facebook If you have no knowledge about East Africa you might actually believe a statement like the one written above presumably by the photographer Stephano de Luigi on the VII website. I’m wracking my brains to imagine how he (or someone else) could have got it so wrong, and how no-one else has spotted it?

Since then he has also received grant money to continue his work from the Pulitzer Center for [...] Bang. Bang. Bang. WOW. This blew me away. I mean this REALLY BLEW ME AWAY. For more info look here and here. If you only look at one thing on the web this week go here. If you are a blogger please spread the word on this amazing work. Paul Close, duckrabbit salutes you!
