Welcome to the kiwanja photo section Due
to an ever-growing collection, photographs have now been divided into three
sections. Below you will find the original selection of
personal and kiwanja-related images, pretty-much present on the site since
launch back in 2003. Two additional sources of images can be found at:

| Burroughs B1900 mainframe computer, Hambros Bank (Jersey) circa 1985. My first real chance to prove myself came when I found myself in charge of this workhorse. A million miles from the lowly
PET (my first taste of computing), I still remember how to operate it to this day |
A sign of things to come? Photo, left, taken at Christmas
(1978?) with 'Peanuts'. Twenty-four years later and
photo, right, an orphaned chimp clings tight during
a working visit to the
Limbe
Wildlife Centre, Cameroon |
Above: A
Kwele Owl Mask, pride of my very small collection
of African bits and pieces. Believed to be collected from
the Gabon/DRC region in the 1930's, its instant appeal
has lead to me to take a more active interest in the art of this Gabonese tribe and to try and find out more of the masks history
Right: The mobile phone
report, co-authored with
Richard Burge, which has gone down particularly
well in some charity and academic circles

| Built in five weeks: Two accommodation blocks for
the local primary school in Chilubula, Northern
Zambia, 1993. My first Jersey Overseas Aid project |
Trying out a
wildlive! animal ringtone with Lucy, my niece, during a visit home to
Jersey. Important market research, whatever the age! |

| Photo of Henry Martin, my great great Grandfather.
Mayor of Brighton in the 1860's, he opened the now
defunct West Pier on 6th October, 1866 |
With
Trevor Baylis, inventor of the clockwork radio, following
his inspirational speech at the t4cd Conference held at Microsoft's Research
Centre in Cambridge, January 2006 |

| Commodore CBM 4032, more commonly know as the 'PET'.
Launched in 1977 was one of the earliest personal computers
which I was fortunate enough to use down our local club.
Playing around with this machine ended up launching a career
(thank you, Mr. Cooper) |
Discussing technology use at the
Endangered Wildlife Trust
Field Workers day, Johannesburg Zoo, October 2004. My
expertly prepared Powerpoint presentation proved
entirely inappropriate when I found out the meeting was
taking place South African-style - under a tree in the grounds |
 |
 |
| Demonstrating wildlive! (and sharing a joke) with Sir
David
Attenborough at the Wildscreen Awards Ceremony,
Bristol (2004). Without doubt a highlight of the evening |
Co-presenting FFI's mobile phone/appropriate technology
report at
the Vodafone Environmental Symposium in Newbury, July 2004.
Co-author Richard Burge is (thankfully!) out of picture |

Above: People suddenly realised that I was, in fact, serious
about selling up and leaving Jersey for university when
me and my lovingly-maintained
TR7 convertible
parted ways. Photo taken in happier times! Jersey, 1995
Left: The
wildlive! mobile service. A fantastic project to work on, and
a real turning point in more ways than one

| A fascination in the days of early
African exploration
is brilliantly depicted by this 1838 map of the continent
which, with the exception of the north and some coastal
areas, is entirely void of any detail. Not even a Lake Victoria |
And my Mum, amateur naturalist and the source of my love
and appreciation of the natural world. Here taking one
of her many 'plant shots' in Swavesey, Cambridge, July 2004 |

 |
| Taken in
Soroti, Northern Uganda in 1995 during
the Jersey Overseas Aid hospital building project,
my second visit to Africa and my last before heading off to university the
following year |
"Lions", painted on wood. Justice Kabango (1992)
I met and be-friended Justice, a Zambian artist, during
my first Africa trip in 1993 and purchased this picture
from him. We kept in regular contact until his sudden death
in the summer of 1994. I kept in touch with his four sons,
seeing them through school. Three of them now run a
garage in Kasama and Chiti, the youngest, is at college |

| In a suit? Now you see it... Making a presentation to
delegates on the use of text messaging and other ICTs in global conservation and
development work at the t4cd Conference in January 2006. Following on from this,
the BBC Go Digital team invited me to talk on their programme - click

to hear the interview (with thanks to
BBC
Go Digital - 3Mb MP3 file) |
... and now you don't! With a rescued juvenile red-eared guenon at
Cercopan in
Calabar, Nigeria (2001). Agbani (named after Nigeria's Miss
World) was being kept in a bird cage at a local 24-hour
bar. Seen here on her arrival, she was totally exhausted,
dehydrated and very ill. Thankfully she made a full recovery
and was re-introduced to fellow guenons after a short spell
in quarantine |

| Photo of a young girl sitting on the seafront,
Maputo, Mozambique. Taken during our second research trip back in 2004. One
of my favourite shots... |
My first taste of merchant banking - dragging a suitcase around
St. Helier (Jersey) filled with a mixture of gold bullion. The job
required daily delivery of gold bars, silver, platinum,
krugerands and platinum nobles to other local banks (1984/5) |

|
| First edition of Antibiotics - one of the
earliest attempts at a regular magazine for computer users in
Jersey. Produced during my time
'as' Clifton Computers, September 1991 |
