It took me so long to get my last post up as work here in Tanzania has been so crazy busy but this morning I had a some extra time as the heavens had opened last night. When it rains here in Dar es Salaam there is a lot of water and most of it [...]

The view across the Indian Ocean a stone's throw from our training in Dar es Salaam. Of course I’m talking about me being here in east Africa courtesy of the British Council who have put on a photofilm training course for local journalists, photographers and students here in Dar es Salaam in beautiful Tanzania. [...] Dan & Ray settle in for the edit after a cold afternoon spent in Birmingham. Just before duck & rabbit ran off to Zimbabwe with the Oxfam crew for some tomfoolery and lots of audio and pictures we trained a few lovely people up in Birmingham. Dan, Ray, Oliva and Uta were a great [...] It’s been a a bit of a trek getting out to Bangladesh where I am working with Benjamin for a few weeks and if I thought the trekking was over I was wrong. The transport here in Khulna is slow progress and the roads would keep the highways agency back in the UK busy [...] During the photofilm training we’ve just wrapped in London we spent a lot of time talking about how you get a great interview. There’s no magic. Its just about you and the person, having a bit of time, having a connection and most of all trust. For me the best interviews are when people [...] No, really. You are missing out on one of the most beautiful, creative and inspiring workshops I’ve ever known. OK, I have a vested interest, but I don’t do bullshit. The Hinterlands Workshop is exceeding our wildest expectations. We are blessed to be able to spend time teaching and learning from some fascinating students, [...] The bad news: all our three day workshops have sold out. More later in the year so get in contact if you want to go on the list. The good news: we still have a few slots left on The Hinterlands workshop which starts in ten days time and is going to be a blast. [...] In our recent trip to the DR Congo the great photographer Yasuyoshi Chiba told me why his pictures often carry so much hope (something he has in common with David). Whilst his father was dieing his mother never gave up hope. From that simple, but profound experience, he learned that in almost any circumstances people [...] This short film could be brilliant but for me its a great illustration of how to nearly nail an interview. The next time someone tells you: “I feel happy to not have to have something more to fill the void, cause the void is filled with love” STOP THEM AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY ACTUALLY [...] There are only two spaces left on our hotly anticipated Montreal workshop that is being organized by Daniel Seguin. Closer to home the photofilm workshop that we’re really salivating over is The Hinterlands (spaces still available). If you want to start making films then we promise an inspiring space to sharpen your skills.
[...] Ken from MSF (Doctors without borders) has the answer … And if you’re thinking about getting yourself some ‘awesome’ training’, just do it. If you are a photographer interested in working in the NGO/Humanitarian sector this will interest you. Next week I am training the communications staff working out of MSF Brussels and quite a few of their overseas staff. MSF have an amazing track record of working with photographers and in Bruno, Julie and Olga they run [...] |
