Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things can occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assurance which no man would have dreamed would come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power in it. Begin it now.”
- W.H. Murray

Trade 101 | “There was a lump under my bed sheets. Bearing in mind it was dark and the boundary distinguishing my living quarters from the surrounding rainforest could not be described as impenetrable, upon discovering this lump was warm and furry my animal brain concluded it must be alive. I correspondingly laid a brick, leapt from the bed and threw my arms up preparing for a round of fisticuffs with this intruder.
Turned out it was just a hot water bottle with a furry cover. Given this lodge was located in the heat of equatorial Africa I still maintain that was the less predictable of conclusions in the moment.”
Trade 101 with the Uganda Tourism Board now published. Link in the bio

Trade 71 | I’ve been working my way through the archive for some press selections. Vietnam has undoubtedly been one of the most stunning locations I have been brought to; I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Trade 100 is now published while I have also just passed two years since Trade 1.
To borrow the astute and deeply resonating words of someone I met on my travels: "BOOM!" Okay, now that's out of my system... to mark these milestones I am now expanding the project to offer FILMMAKING.
Video will need to work a little differently in many senses but, as with when I first shared this project idea in 2016, I'm putting it out there and see what happens.
Q&A in the story for the milestone and link in the bio for the trade.

Trade 98 | I’ve published my last few trades from Australia recently (96, 97 & 98). Mix of portraits, surfing and pole dancing.
Link in the bio to take your pick.

Tipi for 12, gin, sleeping bag, BBQ guitar, freestyler, a harmonica/beatboxer and we had ourselves a hoedown.
And a few jaded souls in the morning.
