Babies in Real Nappies

2007-12-22T15:22:00.000-05:00

Cloth Nappies are all the rage in Hackney, thanks to the Real Nappy Network and some of the hard working folks in the Hackney Council Neighbourhoods and Regeneration team. These are some of the babies who I was asked to photograph at a recent Real Nappy Christmas Party at Hackney City Farm.

Be Recreative!

2007-06-04T10:09:00.001-04:00

I've been out photographing for Hackney Council again. This event was to encourage recycling and there were loads of activities aimed at inspiring people to reduce their waste. For me the highlight was a performance by local Hackney school children about the environment. They were extremely cool!

International Women's Day in Hackney

2007-03-24T17:19:00.000-04:00

On Friday I was photographer for an event which was held in Hackney Town Hall to commemorate International Women's Day.

Real Nappy Week

2007-03-20T16:22:00.000-04:00

Terry nappies are all the rage in Hackney and I was at the Real Nappy Fashion Show last week to capture the latest trends. My first ever fashion shoot!

Hospital Life in North London

2006-09-05T12:49:00.000-04:00

Over the summer I was asked to take photographs in a North London hospital. It was fascinating to see the inner workings of a health care institution, particularly after my experiences in the US. Although the building was obviously in need of a bit of TLC, the patients were on the whole very positive about the care they were getting.

My photo tour took me through all ages of patients from premature babies in incubators to elderly patients sharing lunch together.

Lunch on the geriatric ward

Once a week the elderly patients get a chance to eat together at lunch time. Much more enjoyable that eating at their beds on the ward.

Postnatal bliss

This woman had given birth just a few hours previously and was recouperating on the postnatal ward.

Waiting in accident and emergency

2006-09-05T11:09:00.000-04:00

All was fairly quiet in Accident and Emergency. I imagine things are different on a Saturday night in there.

Organising the Hospital Porters

Down in the basement of the hospital, one man with a telephone, a computer and a large whiteboard coordinates all the hospital porters.

The Counter-Inauguration

2005-01-20T22:00:00.000-05:00

As George W Bush was being sworn in for another four years as President of the United States, thousands of protestors were gathering to the North and West of the Capitol to demonstrate their opposition to his policies.

Invited guests

Many Bush supporters had paid thousands of dollars to attend inauguration events. They were unimpressed by the protestors' shenanigans.

Which side of the fence are you on?

A ring of steel

2005-01-20T21:54:00.000-05:00

Security was higher than it had been at any previous inauguration. A ring of steel was erected around the centre of the city and manned by military personnel. As visitors approached the fence they were ordered to open their jackets in preparation for a full body search.
