It’s a funny old thing – being one foot in the photography world and one foot in the NGO world. You find yourself wanting to take photographs and campaign for a living at the same time. But that’s the magic of using what you produce behind a lens to further a cause, unearth an injustice, or inspire others to get up and take action.

Refugee Week (15 – 21 June 2009)

At the moment i’m pretty obsessed by Twitter. You can find me on there as @greensnapper. Yesterday I discovered a fantastic way of showing support for a British Red Cross campaign using Twitter:

‘Refugee Week celebrates the important contribution of refugees to UK society. This year we’re asking you to look look beyond labels to the true identity of the refugee in modern Britain. Only by looking beyond the status and label of ‘refugee’, can we overcome prejudice and help people restore their sense of identity and belonging. Show your support‘ (Look Beyond the Label – British Red Cross).

So i’ve changed my status on Twitter and my new photo looks like this.

Best get back to the photography now!
