Vika & Suzi, asleep in the back of the Landie, after a day in Slavutich, the town hurredly built for the former residents of Pripyat, which was evacuated after the Chernobyl accident and remains a ghost town. www.aidconvoy.net

Since this is Slavutych, near Chernobyl, it would be extremely bad taste to make jokes about the radio-actively green drink. But really! It glowed! We still don't have a clue what it was.

Uploading an old pic of Suzi just as my little way of marking the birth of her baby boy on Tuesday last week. When she called me, he didn't have a name yet. It should most certainly be "aardvark", but that's another story. Anyway, happy birthday. Truck would take you for a spin if he only could. He shares with you the lack of a name, although in his case it was because he didn't approve of names. Every time I gave him one, he broke. So... "truck".

Grainy ultra-zoom or ultra-ISO look, but it's actually just through Truck's windscreen. That's high-mileage dirt you're looking through! ;) The roses are part of a massive display of Albanian plastic flowers we had up around the screen for months — until the mean MoT man told me they'd have to go. We'd just got back from an(other) epic trip to Kosova, and I was dropping Suzi off. This was the first time I'd met her Mark. Anyway, I've been scanning yet more old prints to preserve them for posterity and this one has a certain something, so it made the "keep but don't upload" pile. And now I've changed my mind. Kosova trips catch your eye? More: www.aidconvoy.net/

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.)

Since it's that time of year again, here's Suzi and me in Munich at the Oktoberfest a while ago (en route home from a Kosova trip.) It's a crazy idea: consume lots and lots of beer, quite a lot of heavy food, and then go on fairground rides and throw it all up... Thanks to Steph for grabbing the camera and snapping this. Probably an old Nikon something-or-other with a 50mm lens.

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.)

Jim Browning is an "adventurer", and a bit of a hero. Seen here with Suzi in Prishtinë, Kosova, in the midst of an unlikely and unplanned expedition to rescue truck from Albania. Jim hadn't been to Albania before, but nevertheless after we'd finished the aid delivery we were doing in Kosova, he agreed to take me across the mountains. My truck had been languishing there since dropping his propshaft just ouside Rubik. Six months on, and apart from the rats' nest in the heater he was basically okay. Made it as far as Bari in Italy before the improperly repaired prop fell off again, but we got him home and he did four convoys to Chernobyl after that :) Tales on www.aidconvoy.net Not sure which camera produced this, either the Pentax ME-Super or an ancient Nikon. Either would have had a 50mm lens and Kodak Tri-X or Plus-X.

Suzi with her new friend. I've shifted the colours a lot because my scanner went a bit crazy — what colour management? Taken on the old faithful Pentax ME-Super, 50mm.

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 .
