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 It is also a vanity press for my unpublished (and occasionally) published work.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.

Uganda: Heavy Rains Mean Less Conflict in Karamoja
The more they travel with their cattle for water, the more likely they are to enter their neighbours’ territories
Disarming Karamoja; the pitfalls
Some parts of Karamoja have changed in the very recent past, and no one calls the conflict there a war. Yet, the armed Karimojong men are referred to as warriors: they carry guns, open fire at each other and the UPDF, and UPDF responds

In my Sunday school class I’m teaching early Israelite tribes and why they kept fighting with each other and the Canaanites. One of the reasons was water and being able to live off your tiny patch of land. It’s amazing how little things change over the centuries.
