I’m an American photographer and journalist traipsing around Africa on the lookout for the ordinary and the extraordinary, using my camera as a pretext to enter worlds not otherwise available.
This space is a scrap book of web and life trawlings – photography, music, arts, politics, and other sundry subjects. It is also a vanity press for my unpublished (and occasionally) published work.
I found the scarlett lion on the roof a friend’s house in Kampala back in 2006 when I went through a crate of discarded items he and a few other artists had gathered. On that day, I was looking for something and I found the lion: a discarded kid’s toy made in China on the cheap, that somehow found it’s way to East Africa. Something about the hollowed out, paint chipped figurine appealed to my understanding of this amazing continent: I’d never seen a real lion, after all.

", on Because I’m a sucker for Amadou et Mariam videosLearned about these guys from Ugandan Blogger Jackfruity. A guy named Abramz, a hip hop artist and break dancer, has organized a project where he teaches break dancing and talks about social issues in Kampala, Gulu, and soon other regions, and possibly for youth in prisons too. Article to follow, pictures for now.
