Midday in Zinder, Niger. It was the middle of Ramadan. The shade of a building provided some respite from the midday heat. They ate nothing, drank nothing, not even their own saliva, which they constantly spat out, and they did nothing. They moved only to shift their weight to prevent pressure sores and to face Mecca in prayer. The women worked. Prepared food for the young, cared for the young, fetched and carried, and when the sun set, the women fed them, giving them the nourishment they needed for the next long day of contemplation that would arrive after a few hours of darkness with the return of the sun and the call to prayer.

I took this while working on a news shoot in Niger in October, 2005. It was during the famine there and this woman was at a relief agency centre near Zinder in Western Niger. What she is contemplating, I cannot begin to imagine, considering all that she has been through.

Taken in an area of the Sahel of Niger, a couple of hundred kms north of Tchin Tabaraden and about 50km south of the the dunes of the Sahara. This boy is a member of the Peul or Fulani tribe. His penetrating gaze is incredible, he just stood there, staring while I took the photo. When I showed him the portrait, he became my "best friend..." bringing me around the place to take photos of his friends and family.

Taken at a market near the town of Tahoua in Niger. We were invited to take shelter out of the midday sun under this man's awning, typical of the hospitality we received in this very friendly country. Some photoshop work done to the image to channel mix it monochrome, to soften it slightly and to increase contrast. The original is in my photostream. Although I love B&W, I think this one works better in colour for some reason.

On the road between BirniNkoni and Tahoua. A group of young Hausa boys get up close and personal to see themselves on my camera's LCD screen and to ask for a gift in the only French they have ever been taught... or, in their minds, need to learn!

Zinder, Niger. Scarification is still a feature of many cultures around the world and this Hausa baby carries the marks inflicted upon her shortly after her birth by the women of her village.

Zinder, Niger. This man lost all his animals during the famine and had just received new animals from Irish aid agency, Goal. He kept saying mongohdi over and over. It turns out that it means thank you.

This little girl was one of the lucky ones. She is nearly ready to leave the emergency centre in Zinder and go home with her mother to her village. She is sucking Plumpy Nut off her fingers hence the title.

This was taken as we crossed the Tenere in 2002. Clearly caravans don't stop. The moment they do animals start shedding loads. These guys were on the run back to the animals after talking with me.

These are salt cones. Mostly salt mixed with, I guess, a little "sandy cementy" type mix. They then fit into a harness on the camel's back and get transported to the grasslands further south. There they get broken up and are left to dissolve in water. From here the cattle drink and get their salt and minerals..

from More Altitude
One of the most inhospitable landscapes I have ever visited, the Air Mountains of Northern Niger are a chain of low (2-3,000 foot) rocky hills dissected by dusty valleys and waterless wadis, surrounded by flat dry plains and sand dunes. We were here in the cool 'winter' where daytime temperatures peaked in the mid-30s (95F) and there wasn't a cloud to be seen in the sky- though at night the air cooled to close to zero degrees. This is the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, and despite the fierce climate and often lifeless vistas, it remains one of the most beautiful places I have travelled through.
Iferouane, Air Mountains, Northern Niger. December 2005.
