DSC_3979

Well, its taken a rather long time indeed, but the photos from Cambodia are finally finished and up on the website. You can view them by going to the "my travels" menu and selecting Cambodia. They are organised into sections as there are quite a lot of photographs from the trip. Phew, that was a bit of a mission! I must say I am rather pleased with the results, but they do make me miss my D700 somewhat!

During my trip to Guatemala with Plan International, I went out to photograph some of the projects in the rural areas that Plan are actively involved in.

A successful trip in Guatemala

Well, I have returned safely from Guatemala and am now battling the fun of jet lag and lack of sleep! I have started working on selecting and processing the images and video from the trip and I will post them here soon. I saw some amazing sights over there, but more importantly, I have been exposed to the kind of work that we do at Plan at a social and personal level and to be honest, it has inspired me greatly to ensure that I do as much as I can to help out. I will post a full writeup and images here in the next few days.
