Mudlarking on the Thames - Foundation Students, @UAL

February, 2019 

I photographed Foundation students from Camberwell & Central St.Martins from @UAL mudlarking on the Thames back in February. A mudlark is someone who scavenges in the river mud hoping to source treasure, particularly during the 18th and 19th century.

Tayrona National Park, Colombia

Not far from Santa Marta, ´Parc Tayrona´ is famous for its glorious beaches. It´s also home to immense fauna and flauna and I saw lots of interesting delights during my two days here, including this colourful jellyfish. Its an hour and a half hike through the park to get to the first campsite and the beaches are not much further. 

We slept in hammocks again and drunk ´ron´on the beach, gazing up at the moon...bliss. 

Punter Gallinas, Colombia

18.02.13

We were up at 4.30AM after not much sleep from the hammock and bundled into the back of a 4x4 to make our way across the desert to ´Punter Gallinas´ the North most point in Colombia. A flat tyre at 6AM meant we could all get out and watch the sunrise. After 5 hours of horrendously bumpy, invisible roads, we passed thousands of cactus, wild goats and a few indigenous Wayuu people. The landscape is breathtaking and we spent the afternoon on 60ft sand dunes which you can run down into the ocean. Another night of star gazing in the ´hammaca´followed by another sunrise, 3 in a row isn't bad. 

Cabo de la Vela, Colombia.

16.02.13

A friend and I decided on venturing up to the North most point in South America. The first stop was ´Cabo de la Vela´in the Guajira Peninsula. Along the way we met a French couple, an Italian, a Dutch lady and a German magician. It took about 5 hours to get here by bus, collectivo and 4 x4. Its a peaceful place with pristine, calm waters. There´s no electric or running water very often, the place felt like a ghost town.
