Well, I got a rather nice suprise today to find out that Plan International have chosen one of my photos from Guatemala to put up in the international headquaters in Woking :)
I dont think I have ever seen one of my images printed that large before! It certainly will be nice to be greeted with my own work as I head into the office each day. I only have my iPhone with me today, so here is a snap of it up on the wall in the office.

Well, last week I was on holiday, and part of my trip was trekking up to the hill tribes in northern Thailand (which was absolutely amazing!). I have taken quite a few photographs (as I am sure you could imagine I would) and I will process a load of them when I get back to the UK, but I wanted to put this image up now.
This guy was quite a character and really enjoyed looking at his reflection in the glass of my camera lens! Here is my favourite photo of him sitting proudly in his house in this traditional tribal village.
When I return back from the Philippines, I will put the rest up :)

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. This was a great opportunity for me to see first hand the work that Plan does, and to spend a little time in the communities photographing the children that directly benefit from our work. It was an amazing look into Latin American culture, and one that has really enforced in my mind how important it is for us to continue to help those in need in this world. So here is a run down of the events during my short stay in Guatemala.
We started the day early...

Well, I have finished going through the photos from Salama in Guatemala and I have uploaded some of them to my portfolio. If you want to see some of my favourites you can see them here: http://www.lomayani.com/guatemala-2012/
I am still doing the write up which will be added to the page next week, which will give the story behind the photos and the context in which Plan works with these rural communities.
