Tragedy has befallen my beloved Nikon SLR and, sadly, photographic content on this blog will dry up for a while. Through the grieving process, I’m planning to work on something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time – put together my portfolio and pursue sponsorship.
Part of this will be developing a website; part of it will be figuring out how the world of semi-professional photography works.
And so we arrive at the request in this post.
I’m looking for feedback on my photography and, if you enjoy it, any comments that may help endorse my bid for sponsorship. I really can’t afford to buy a new SLR camera at this point, so I’m really hoping for the sponsorship route to pan out.
In the meantime, here is one of the last photos that I took with that camera – one that I’m really fond of. Enjoy, and please comment on this post if you feel inclined.
hi Duncan, your pictures are always welcome and I do enjoy them. How much is this camera you are looking for?
Thank you for keeing us informed on your life there.

Wow! I’m sorry I don’t have any real photography experience from which to give you advice, but that is a really cool shot. Good luck!

Hi Duncan. I loved your perceptions on poverty series. They were such lovely ways to show dignity and the reality of life in Africa. We see so much stylised poverty shots of Africa, it’s often all we see. Your photos are beautiful. Good luck with the sponsorship.

I’m always loving your perspective through your snaps. This pic is pretty amazing, it makes me wonder where this cat is going.
Unfortunately, I have no idea about sponsorship ideas. Good luck
