Norwegian Journal of Nutrition
Some of my photos from my work with UNICEF in the Mekong Delta at the end of last year have been published in the Norwegian Journal of Nutrition. The article is a letter from Vietnam by UNICEF's own Roger Mathisen who was down in the delta with me, or rather, I was down there with him. Thank-you to Roger for sharing my photos of the important work UNICEF are doing in Vietnam.

Vietnam: Cam On/Hen Gap Lai
Well then.
Previously I thought I'd write this in the airport while waiting for the flight that was going to take me away from Vietnam. That, I thought, would be the right thing, the poetic thing to do. But, as it happened, it took a very long time to check in given the amount of luggage we had. So before boarding there was only time enough to sit down briefly, eat a bowl of overpriced pho, let the blood flow back into our faces, dry the tears flowing out of our pockets, and get on the plane. And, after that, there was champagne to be quaffed as we taxied to the runway (courtesy of a very nice man who, seeing our pale, distressed faces as it dawned on us how much our excess baggage was going to cost us, bumped us up to business class). Then there was a short-term apartment to move into and out of, and another apartment to be moved into, and bureaucratic things to sort out, and new things to discover, and suddenly a couple of months had passed.

Wedding: Stephanie + Liam
Stephanie and Liam got married in a very intimate ceremony on board a private boat in Halong Bay. When we set off from the harbour it was overcast and drizzling, and the forecast was for the weather to stay that way. The ceremony was scheduled to take place in the tiny dining room if it didn't clear up but, fortunately, the sun came out and hoovered up all the clouds just in time for the couple and their friends to celebrate on the sundeck.
Many thanks to Stephanie and Liam for having me there to document their special day (and for letting me lightpaint them), and all the best for the future. Thanks also to Bhaya Cruises for the smooth sailing, and to the lovely folk at WedinStyle for taking me along, and for jetting me out of the bay in a speedboat.

China Large
Before I begin I'd like to say a few things. This is going to be a pretty large post. Because China is a very large place, and although the photos here are just from a small part of it, the trip I recently undertook with my girlfriend was a very large trip, and one that I'd thought about doing for a large amount of time.
Most of the photos aren't from the part of the trip that were the point of going there. Partly because I wasn't taking many photos during that bit, and partly because I don't know how to write about it yet, and would, very likely, babble.
At this point maybe I'd just like to add an apology to anyone I know in China who I didn't visit. Next time I will - I promise.
Because of the nature of the journey, we wanted to travel as light as possible, which meant one bag each and no DSLR. I had my Holga with me and will post some of those photos once they're printed. But these are all photos from my phone.

Ha Giang Holga
These photos are from a recent motorbike trip I went on with my girlfriend. It was a great trip in one of the greatest places (I think) on Earth - Ha Giang. The shaky-looking photos are either double or multiple exposures, or because my hands were vibrating from hours on the throttle. I can't rightly remember.
It's probably also worth mentioning that we undertook this trip with a 400g lump of Gorgonzola, which doesn't keep well in hot panniers. Despite our bravery, it got the better of us under a tree (4th picture down) and had to be laid to rest in the next town.

Recent Tearsheets
A couple of the photos I took for UNICEF at the end of 2011 are on the front page of their recent report. And my photos of the dangerous Hanoian gangstahs - EP and the Hanoi Sessions fellows - just before they became hot internet property, appeared in Heritage Magazine, the in-flight magazine of Vietnam Airlines.

International Peace Foundation
I did a bit of work a few weeks back for the International Peace Foundation. Prince Alfred of Liechtenstein, who is the Chairman of the Foundation's Advisory Board, was visiting, and I documented some of the Hanoi leg of his trip.
We visited The Minister of Foreign Affairs first. And we travelled in slick, black BMW's with a police escort, so that was pretty dandy.
