Latest Work: Ijen Crater Sulpher Miners, Java, Indonesia 2013, a set on Flickr.
I was recently in Java for Lonely Planet and at the end of my stay visited the spectacular Ijen sulphur mines and spent two days and nights following the miners at work. Here is a short photo story on Ijen and the miners work.

Latest Work: Java 2013, a set on Flickr.
Back in the autumn of 2013 I was lucky enough to be sent to Java, Indonesia to update that section of the Lonely Planet SE Asia on a Shoestring guidebook. Java is my favourite part of Indonesia (although I've never been to Papua and reckon that would be right up my street): I love the vibrant art and culture scene in the towns and the dramatic volcanic landscapes (and the food ain't bad either!). The following are a selection of images from what was, once again, a wonderful trip to Indonesia.

Africa: New Book
The new Lonely Planet Africa guide is out now. For this edition I had the mammoth, but utterly brilliant, task of updating Sudan, Republic of Congo and DR Congo. I also wrote the Ethiopia chapter, the coffee table-style South Sudan chapter and contributed to the Central African Republic chapter. When a book covers a continent the size of Africa coverage of some places can be rather short but for me this book is Lonely Planet at its ground breaking and adventurous best.
