Creating a scene: XR Oct. 2019 Rising
I’m working out how best to photograph Extinction Rebellion. A friend of mine tells me she does not support XR because their disruptions alienate people who need to be brought on side. So perhaps it’s best to back away from XRs photogenic performances to include the bystanders and their reactions. Much of the time this…

The land doubles as a latrine for the entire village, which lacks basic sanitation. Seeing donkeys eating human excrement turned…
