    The “gaze” of HOPE is so positive. Phillip with Mari Alkatiri, with the children, with their own hero’s and Mr + Ms PM. Now that photo is a knock-out. Thank you.

    I don’t have all the stuff I need to run the movies + sound, but I want to say your words choosen with the photos are a real treasure. Hot stuff.

    I love the blog, and the photos - especially this one “Waiting for Water”. I like the positive slant that Philip has adopted, and am looking forward to his interviews on LNL.
