PC ("pussy cat") in the garden. She likes to hide in the long grass and feign attacks on insects, which – given their ability to fly – are generally somewhat over-equipped to escape her fairly un-fierce efforts. Nevertheless she performs this ritual with pride and dignity. And of course, she distinctly resembles "le chat noir"... Pentax ME-Super, 50mm f1.7 lens, yellow filter, Ilford XP2

Sarah, Mhairi, me & Vicky, somewhere amidst the Frank Sinatra sing-along, the kamikaze cocktails, and Troy. Go Brad! Get a backbone Orlando! Taken with a stupendous bit of balancing of a cameraphone on a till receipt and a coaster, providing a bonus reflection which looked utterly convincing on the phone's screen... ;) (And uploaded from that phone — woohoo, it works!)

Brian painted a fantastic mural at the Aratta community centre in Chernihiv, Ukraine. It's based on a horse from the antique Carousel on Brighton seafront. After we'd finished and gone home, a local art teacher encouraged children to continue the theme around the other three walls of the room. The result blends perfectly and has made a grey room into an incredibly colourful, fun place. We support the centre, which runs many projects to help the victims of Chernobyl, in Ukraine. Find out about it, and support us at www.aidconvoy.net Taken with a Pentax ME-Super on Agfa 200 without flash — probably (film type from memory.)

This is one of the abandoned girls who live at the Zamglai orphanage, one of the places we help near Chernobyl in Ukraine. www.aidconvoy.net Taken with a Pentax ME-Super on Agfa 200 with no flash (probably — from memory.)

Children from a really happy "experimental" school in Chernihiv, Ukraine. We support these kind of places; www.aidconvoy.net Taken with a Pentax ME-Super on Ilford XP2 (probably — from memory.)

This is the statue where I met Ewan McGregor! ;) It's stunningly impressive, two riders on horseback stretching out right across the road (some way after Lvov, heading east for Kiev.) You gape in wonderment that the Soviet bolts (connected only at the rearmost hooves) are still holding. Then gape again when you see the detail of the panel-beating.

Hello.

Just uploading some random things I like. This is from the Glastonbury festival in 1995 — one of the most gloriously sunny years. (Probably) taken with a little Canon zoom on Fuji 400.

Accidental but cool. The colours are real; Sussex's Meeting House by Basil Spence is a drum with wonderful 60s colours in the glass breeze-blocks which are spaced all around. The room itself is clever and can be easily transformed into a meeting space for any (or no) religion. Pretty much all I did was edge detection when trying to sharpen it a bit, and wow, what an effect. (Probably) taken with a Pentax ME-Super, 50mm on Fuji 400 print.

We'd just arrived. We're standing on the edge of a bomb crater, trepidatious before entering the capital city just days after NATO stopped bombing. www.aidconvoy.net Taken with a little Canon compact zoom, probably on Fuji 400 (from memory.)

Native freakyness in Venice.

Some kids in the Skanderaj region of Kosova. We were thronged every time we stopped; fascinating weird foreigners, blundering through people still revelling in the joy of the end of the war. Notice the sneaky fag in one kid's hand. They were about 1DM a packet. www.aidconvoy.net Taken with a little Canon compact zoom, probably on Fuji 400 (from memory.)

I guess this never goes on the main roads any more; look closely, there's still a communist star on the number plate. (Found in Montenegro, while trying to work out which dirt track went into Albania! www.aidconvoy.net )

I love this capture. It's in Rome airport, returning home without Truck after the epic weeks in Kosova (Kosovo) during July & August 1999. ( www.aidconvoy.net ) Taken with an old manual Nikon (can't remember which model) on Kodak Tri-X. You can also see a test strip from the darkroom, which I really like - accidental art! - here .

Truck was having a rest somewhere in Germany (on the way to Ukraine) and I just liked the lines of this bike. I work in Ukraine helping the victims of the ongoing effects of Chernobyl. www.aidconvoy.net Taken with a Pentax ME-Super (50mm f1.7 lens) on Ilford XP2 (from memory).

Somewhere in Poland, en route across to Ukraine. (I work in Ukraine helping the victims of the ongoing effects of Chernobyl. www.aidconvoy.net ) Taken with a Pentax ME-Super (50mm, f1.7 lens) on Ilford XP2 (from memory).
