Kiev, Ukraine

Well here I am, as far east as I have ever come for this project! The next three weeks should be interesting as I explore the spread of Pentecostalism here in Ukraine, stay tuned for images...

I hope you can join me tonight at the Alex Telese Gallery for the opening of my first solo show in Spain!

Well my time here in London is coming to a close but it has been as interesting as it has been productive.

So while I'm here I have been spending time at a very small church here in London. A bit of a different experience from Pentecost 2012!

I hope you can join me at the opening of my first solo exhibition in Barcelona on June 21st at 19:00 at Galería Alex Telese located at C/ De la Palla, 11, 08002 Barcelona, Spain.



It also happens to be the summer solstice so we are sure to have a great time!

Recently I attended Pentecost 2012, a large celebration here in London. It was very interesting to see people form all backgrounds and walks of life sharing their faith.

This week images from The Europeans were featured on the New York Times Lens Blog. Needless to say I’m pretty excited that my work is reaching a larger audience. I’ve been working on this project for the past seven years and there have been many times where I felt I was toiling in obscurity to say the least. Getting a little recognition every now and then feels good.

After a seven year absence I am back in London. When I began The Europeans my hope was not simply to capture Europe as it is but also as it changes over time. This week I returned to Parliament Square where I first met anti-war activist Brian Haw.

Sadly last year Brian died after more than ten years of spreading his message. I returned to the spot where I first met him and was pleasantly surprised to find that the movement has outlived the man.



Often I meet and photograph people having no idea of how important they are or will be to me or others. This project has been a real journey of discovery for me and perhaps more than anything has forced me to realize just how interconnected we are and the impact we have on each other’s lives.

I have a show coming up in Barcelona in June! Here's a sneak peek...

I'm in Istanbul for a little while doing some research on a future project!



It's a lovely city even if the weather is a little off right now. I'm looking forward to spending much more time here in the future but this visit is helping me understand just how much this nation bridges Asia and Europe...

In other news I've joined the World Policy Institute as a Project Leader!



Some might think it odd that a photojournalist like myself has joined a think tank but I've always been interested in photography as a vehicle to drive discussion, not simply transmit information. If you missed it here's a link to an article I wrote and photographed for World Policy Journal about the asylum system in Austria
