Artist's Statement

Off the coast of Margaruque (one of 3 islands near Vilanculos) 1989
Taken from journal entry - "Vilanculos - Poverty & Paradise"
Please note: there are no watermarks or signatures in the print section. Please full view.

"During my stay in this region I was again given another wonderful opportunity to lodge on the island Margaruque over a long weekend. The contrast to the mainland was immediately noticeable as this is one of three 'tourist destination' islands off the coast of Mozambique and one is suddenly surrounded with first world facilities and activities."

Please note: Much of the film to these photographs I no longer posses. I have scanned in each and every one of these photos, removed dust & scratches - this has taken hours, and at times enhanced the colour. It would give me great joy if you spent some time going through all the pictures in the journal. At a closer glance you might notice some noise (before pixels came the grain of the film) or the pictures might seem a little faded. I have enhanced them as best I can, but have in no way altered the images themselves.
