2nd time around…

This is the second attempt at blogging. I hope it’s a lot more successful than the first!

So, several weeks ago I (again) met up with a young Austrian Anthropologist I first met several years previous whilst living in Thailand. I’d been planning a trip to Argentina, indeed planning a project for the last 12 months to mark the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War. One that would have taken me across the UK, Argentina and to the Falklands, between 2nd April and 14th June this year. Then I got distracted. (easily done)

A weekend in London, disillusionment with commissioning editors and the opportunity to travel to Dominican Republic to shoot a feature on Voodoo has brought me to Santo Domingo.

I’m lucky to work with a talented and professional Anthropologist named Clarissa. A PhD student at Manchester, not only does she have good contacts and incredible access but is also fluent in Spanish – just as well really as the little Spanish I know barely gets me past the pleasantries.

So, what I hope will follow in the coming days, weeks months is a series of posts / images documenting my experiences here in Rep Dom and onwards. Feel free to ask questions, comment on images/posts etc. Hope you enjoy.

More to come soon.
