What Malc has done in 2008

Recent stories by and about Malc

“Our Man Malc”,
the ever present 43 neighbourhood friend , who is forever helping others heal here, and in the “real” world that is his life. He always takes the time to offer a helping hand to others in need, no matter how seemingly busy he seems to be! (These kind hearted souls always amaze me with the ease and grace for which they walk among us, and shine as examples to others along the way). Malc is a brilliant photographer, who’s photographs have moved me with the amount of emotion they held within them,( and also made me seriously doubt my ability to get any where past my disposable camera shots that are famously known for their blurry format I have expertly mastered, so as you can no longer tell where the person of subject starts, and the landscape begins.)
This guy has been to more places that I could possibly even begin to dream of, let alone actually go! (..... I obviously have gotten into the wrong business in life, and should seriously consider a career change, or beg Malc to adopt me as his large and unruly daughter, to drag along on all his amazing travels , so as I too can see the far reaches of the world! )
though some how I have a feeling my chances of being run over by a Elephant carrying a small import car on it’s back, filled with cursing clowns, whilst crossing the street in down town New York, is far greater , than being adopted at my unlikely age :(
.....But one can always hope.
I hope Malcs off some place by the sea, photographing more sunsets for the rest of us to see, and taking the time to enjoy the finer things in life,like laughter, good company , fresh air ( and perhaps a bit of chocolate cheese cake to top it all off as well! )
I look forward to seeing the world through the eyes of your famous photos, and hearing about your latest travel tales ( even if I am completely green with envy! As there could always be worst colours I could turn.) ;) Cheers to Malcolm, our English Mate!

Cos I love her words and the way she thinks. Maybe more importantly she seems like someone who puts her own troubles to the side to help/support others.

First thing i would tell her is not to neglect herself though :)

Only thing that worries me is that she seems so smart … mmmm … I scared of smart girls (only joking).

And finally she has just shown some interest in digital photography so maybe I could help her meet that goal.

A story about Ken Hames

Last week I had the most amazing opportunity to meet Ken Hames I suspect many of you wont instantly recognise the name but you may know him as the guy from the BBC TV series Beyond Boundaries.

In the first series Ken took 11 physically disabled people to the treacherous Mosquito Coast, escorted by armed soldiers to protect them from bandits and drug traffickers. They made their way through impenetrable jungle, crocodile-infested rivers and climb a live volcano in order to make it to their finishing line – the Pacific coast. Accompanied by expedition leader Ken Hames, they had 28 days to cross 220 miles … something that even the fittest of people would struggle to do. In the second series he took another 11 disabled people across the deserts of Namibia.

Anyway I was lucky enough to have breakfast with this guy and at least an hour one to one before he did the most amazing talk to an audience of around 100 people. He showed clips from the film and I have to say there was not a dry eye in the house when he finished.

The thing I liked about him was that he didnt once talk about himself, he only ever talked about the people that travelled with him. In doing so however he said so much about himself.

A fabulous, fabulous guy !!!!

Why I like Jiana in Green

Because she has the most amazing smile ever !!!!!!

Why I want to meet Cookie

Cos someone has to teach him the difference between good beer and shit lager stuff !!

Why I want to meet Kanard

Cos she is kind, fun, makes people laugh, a great friend to all, an artist … with talent … but who hides it.

She’s smart, and kind, and a long way away but she’s always there in the middle of the night (hers not mine).

I could think of more reasons but those will do for now. Would hate for her to think I like her too much lol !!

The last time I saw Jiana in Green

Three days ago in Manchester … and next week she leaves the UK to return to her homeland. There’s lots I’ll miss about Jiana but I’m sure we will stay in touch.

Of course I captured her eyes again and then we ran off to do an impromptu photo shoot with 5 of her friends. Great fun and hopefully the pictures will remind them all of the fun time they had together.

One thing you probably didn't know about Jiana in Green

She has cheese, olives and a banana for her dinner !!
