"I worked as a freelance editorial photographer in Edinburgh in Scotland in the 90s and 2000s. I specialised in music, performance and educational photographic subjects and magazines, like the Edinburgh International Festival or the Times Educational Supplement newspaper. On a job for the University of Edinburgh I met and photographed Prof Nigel Osborne, who regularly travelled to Bosnia to support educational projects and the cultural life of the country. I asked to come on one of his trips, and to my surprise and horror, he agreed. I was no war photographer. I made about half a dozen trips to Sarajevo and Mostar during 94, 95, and 96, photographing music therapy and art therapy projects and performances in the Sarajevo Winter Festival; I worked with organisations like Edinburgh University’s Music and Community projects, WarChild and Serious Road Trip, and found myself travelling with musicians like Brian Eno and Eugene Skeef. Sometimes I organised photographic projects with children and teenagers. It was a humbling but great privilege to briefly experience the hospitality of the people, especially the young teenagers, of Sarajevo and Mostar. I learned a lot. I think of it often, and I have developed a serious coffee habit to this day.” https://www.flickr.com/photos/186067726@N02/albums
