Love spells, dead leopards, banana beer & a bag full of shells made my Friday morning unforgettable.When myself and a friend secured a commission with an Australian newspaper we decided to take our research to a new level and visit a Kampala based witch doctor. More to follow shortly, but this should interest you......

Gulu, Nodding Disease March 2012
Over the weekend I travelled to the north of Uganda to photograph a
13 year old girl, Nancy. Nancy suffers from a little known disease named
'nodding disease' which first emerged in South Sudan in the 1960's,
since spreading to northern Uganda and Tanzania. The disease is thought
to be linked to the black fly and river blindness.
It is a disease that mentally and physically disables children
between the ages of 5- 15 years. During the seizures (depending on the
severity), which usually begin when presented with food or changes in
temparature, the child can collapse leading to further injury. In
Nancy's case she has come close to drowning in the near by river, or
burning herself on small cooking fires within the vicinity of her home.
To avoid further suffering families tie their affected children to trees to keep them within a safe distance away from harm.
The images above were taken mid afternoon, after a nodding
eposode earlier that morning which left Nancy exhasted and lifeless.

daily harrasment
Today whist waiting for a reporter I sat on a grass bank watching armed men run in circles whilst being harrassed by a group of about 40 young children.... all in a days work.
