Double Lucky/Unlucky
It sounds unlucky to survive one atomic bombing, but to survive two? Does that make you extremely unlucky to have been under the bombing twice, or extremely lucky to have survived on both occasions? Back in 2005 I was fortunate to work on an assignment in Japan, photographing three men who survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings - an assignment I’ve never forgotten.

Keepie Up, with King Kenny
Few months back now I had the pleasure of photographing Sir Kenny Dalglish, former Scotland, Celtic FC and Liverpool FC footballing legend par excellence, and his son Paul, also former footballer and now football agent. It was one of those photography assignments that makes you feel lucky to do this job…
Pontifical Scot’s College, Rome.
Back in 2000, when magazines still commissioned nice reportage documentary photography pieces, I was called by a picture editor I regularly worked for and asked the lovely question, “Can you go to Rome?”.
