Kurt Vile's LP is eleventh on The Fly's Top 50. OK, so he's not leaping with joy but he was quite happy when we said.

The Fly's Album of the Year issue is out and The Antlers win. How refreshing is that? I've had a great year with the best, most heartfelt, least ego-driven title I've ever worked with. I love them.

Back to the MTV EMA this weekend, I'm delighted to say. Belfast plays host and my shots are being used in the wonderfully glossy magazine published for the event - remember all the trannies from a few weeks ago? They look ace in print and I'm well chuffed. Will get some scans and post them, honest. Well chuffed.

So, back to Earth then. Loads of Faye action on screen from our shoot a couple months back. My fat head obscures things too in one of the videos, well worth spending the rest of the day scouring the site for. Or you could listen to this. Your shout.

Two serious young men possibly feeling the pressure of expectation with forthcoming examinations and probably not helped by us lot bowling up to see them and shoot a portrait at their school. I had to give a speech too, smashed it (doubtful).

They didn't mind at all when I asked, so here's to The Oldhams!

I learnt a lot from Martin. His ability to inform, motivate, energise, promote the means of good health and many further positive attributes did in no way compromise his sense of fun and willingness to laugh. I made the mistake of telling him I like dancing (am a rubbish dancer but it's part of my schtick) and I had to then pull out my best funk moves in front of all of the ladies above to prove it. A nice encounter anyway, a memorable highlight in many from Kenya.

This gentleman collects and delivers blood samples and ferries them to and from rural community health centres like this one in Mgori back for lab testing in a dramatically faster and more reliable way than ever before, thus saving lives in a way we would take for granted in the UK. With HIV and TB so prevalent, this saved time is hugely significant obviously. Bloody good work sir.

This mum to be had fallen underweight during her pregnancy so Riders' team were given the task of not only a delivering welfare pack to her very rural home (containing mosquito net, water container and purifying kit, condoms, porridge packs and more) but also spending the time to explain the importance of everything and making up a big mix of the porridge on the fire to comence helping her gain weight and strength. It was incredibly impressive to see the dedication and sense of duty in the rider. I was astounded by it, truly.

We made it to Kisumu for Riders. Day 1 found us at the workshop, shooting the wonderful team in the front office and the technicians in the workshop. Danfus here is the first post for no better reason than I love this shot of a man who dedicates his work to keeping Riders' fleet on the road.
