Births, Deaths and Marriages for St. Helena last month. Slightly depressing month I believe…
This was the moment on June 14th 1982, when Falkland Islanders were sheltering inside the local store in Stanley, that a Royal Marine walked in the door in to tell them they were free - and apparently apologised for taking so long.

For those who would have missed the Sunday Times Magazine article the other week I’ve got hold of the tear sheets for people to have a look.

These images show the inside of a recluse hut from the 1950’s, originally erected on the Antarctic Peninsula for a British survey team sent to find a suitable route and lay supply depots for a dog sledge party planning the first crossing of the Antarctic. The pictures show the the cramped conditions the survey team (up to seven men) lived in during their time here in 1956, with a few indications to how they kept themselves entertained.
The hut has since been relocated to the Falkland Islands, where it sits on display at the museum.
Sunday Times Magazine this weekend > > >
I’m very chuffed to say that after more than four years of photographing a selection of British Overseas Territories, my work will be published in the Sunday Times Magazine this weekend as part of their 50th anniversary edition.
The feature will be accompanied with words by AA Gill, plus further online content detailing the various journeys that I’ve taken since 2007.
So if you’re about on Sunday, please pick up a copy and promptly show everyone you see, I most probably will.
If you happen to be sat reading the Sunday Times Magazine today, the first image to be published from my trip to the Falkland Islands is a ‘life in the day’ of Micky, the penguin man.
