House living
I'd finished as much of the house as I could after 18 months of graft but found living in the spotlessly clean environment... stifling. I decided to extend what I enjoy as exercise into something beautiful that could be used in the house, and so, I built a climbing route in the house.
It destroyed the polished white walls and made evidence of living in the form of orange grips and black climbing shoe stains as well as pencil marks of possible routes, it's like a dream come true.
Picture: Manuel my assistant climbing the wall.

Hard to get hold of John Chatfeild-Roberts the CIO of Jupiter Asset Management proved to be a really funny and sweet guy. I'd mistaken the office charity half marathon moon-walk around london as an actual Michael Jackson Moon-walk, rather than that of walking in moonlight, doh! It worked well to lighten the mood of this short shoot.

Into India
Day One. Leaving London is a relief. I've always wanted to travel around India but always been too afraid and faced with a road to nowhere in Londons Heathrow, I leave into the unknown..
Day one. Who's Sayeeb? they shout through the window as we carve through the darkness.
Day One. The Tannoy screeches, "Please welcome, Tommotree Frustrer".
Day One. I step onto the local pitch and shake the hands of all the players as special guest.
Day One. The winning team stare at me and I stare at them. It is an electric match, the spectators got so excited that some of them ripped up the local advertising and waved it in the air after every goal.
We drive to the orphanage after the match to meet the kids for the first time.
Day One. Coming back from the orphanage to the guest house we stop at the local shop where I would eventually gain trust and credit. The shop was so close to the street we could use it like a drive-in.
Day Two. Everyday was playday with Godwin, the master of the memory game I would calm his exploits with drawings to colour in
