The Heart is a Lonely Hunter in Another Magazine

Another have run a three page feature on my Heart is a Lonely Hunter series that I shot in Selma, Alabama..
Here is an excerpt I wrote which talks about Robert, one of several incredible characters we met on our travels.
Love in Store
A mist covers the river as the sun comes up, I meet a woman called Dr Love. She tells me it is her mission to spread love and soften people’s hearts. Afterwards I go into an antique shop, the owner is called Robert. He is smoking and mending a broken table. He tells me people are getting bigger these days and chairs keep breaking. He has rows of tools and a letter addressed to him with Mother Theresa stamps stuck on, there is a smell of something cooking. He takes us out for a drive to a forgotten church that he takes care of. Light pours in and he gives us bourbon, ice rattles in the plastic glass. Later we drive twenty miles to eat dinner with his girlfriend. We sit on the porch while she cooks and he asks me if i have a man and is he supportive. I say I do and he is. He says he would be too, that he wouldn’t mind if a girl travelled and followed her passions. I say for some people it’s a problem. He says of course and that any man who says otherwise is lying. The next day he gives me a Indian arrowhead carved out of rose crystal.

Lost Transmission

I received this sad package in the post today.. an empty torn envelope addressed to me sealed in a royal mail bag with a printed apology. Who knows what the contents may have been and where they are now...

Illuminations

Cat gave me these plants a while ago. Even in low light they have an iridescent glow. If the sun is behind them they are luminous; at night the street lights throw their shadows on the wall. They always make the day feel better.
