I have plenty of snaps fpr em all.Hope to complete the portfolio this time around. Problems with my visa, still to sort out. Lukim you…

Time out in the bush here at “Gang Gang”,plotting and scheeming my return to Bougainville. Not much encouragement, and the situation there looks a little grim. I dont FEEL I have any options BUT to return, for my friends there, as well as myself. I almost have a good strong show of work.I need 3-4 months more, despite the inevitable return home to the ravages of poverty.En fin the bush has been good to me, and the lyre birds have been singing their repotoire.
