Padang Earthquake Appeal
Regular readers will know that I travelled to the Mentawais back in April of this year. So when news of the tsunami struck, I was more than usually worried about the fate of the folk out there.

This year’s Cornwall Film Festival takes place on Friday 13 – Sunday 15 November at Falmouth’s lovely new Phoenix cinema.
Back in April I made a trip to the Mentawai Islands, which are situated several hours West of Sumatra in Indonesia. Usually with these sort of  trips I’m hellbent on getting the best possible shots I can for whichever magazine I’m shooting for and don’t get to surf much.
