Photos For Red Nose Day


I want to use the photos below for the Red Nose Day efforts currently taking place across Britain.
"Red Nose Day is your chance to transform the lives of poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people across the UK and Africa."

The Concept is Simple:
1. If you would like the original file of the image below for your computer background, to get printed as a post card, blown up and framed, or any other reason - Donate some money to Red Nose Day
https://www.rednoseday.com/donate/in-the-slums (as liltte or as much as you like) or by buying a red nose (like the olden days).

2. Go to my 'Watch This Space' facebook group and onto discussion called Photos For Red Nose Day.

3. Write how much you have given and your email address. I will then send you the digital file of the photograph(s) you would like.*

Please read below for a bit of information about the photograph.

1. Blue Boat
2. Colourful Scots
3. Children of the Taj


1. Blue Boat - This is one of four or five planks of wood which are tied together and used as a fishing boat on the South East Coast of India (the areas badly hit by the Tsunami). I wanted to show the combination of time, nature and man. - the affects of years and years of sea water crashing against wood supporting the livelihood of fisherman.

2. Colourful Scots - This is a group of rocks and musscles taken in the early morning the day after my 22nd birthday on the West Coast of Scotland - I loved the vibrant colours.

3. My 23rd birthday was spend at the Taj in India. The day before, I left my camera bag in the hotel, avoided the tourist traps and armed with a ball went in search of a game of cricket. Thanks to a young begger who i immedately befriended by simply passing him the ball, we soon had the towns children mobised and ready for a game of cricket. At the end I took my sketch book out and asked them to draw a picture - can you guess which one was drawn by the police man? I like to think of this as the voices of Agra's Children - why did they chose to draw that picture?
