Looking back at these action snaps of our Queen St Gallery exhibition. Feels like yesterday. Thank you @charingcrossphoto for capturing that unforgettable opening night. And thank you for helping us every step of the way. You’re our printer, framer and friend.
I'm sitting here in the Sydney sunshine, enjoying a nice cup of tea. I've jumped onto our page and have just realised we have a community of more than 5,000 people in our Facebook/Insta world (and growing), from all over the world. This is just a quick message to say a huge thank you. Habari Productions will be 6 years old next month. In that time we have been constantly reminded of the beauty, strength, kindness and courage so many people possess. We've held three photo exhibitions (thanks to our parents for helping!!), given a percentage of our profits to Doctors Without Borders and UNFPA’s maternal health program, been Nat Geo shortlisted, done a TEDx talk and had school kids in the Netherlands and the Aussie bush use our photos and interviews as part of their learning. A few things have changed since Ben and I started Habari (we now have two kids!!) but on the other hand, not much has changed, at all. We still want to share the stories of the unique people we meet on this earth and give back whenever we can. So, thank you again for supporting Habari and for being a crucial part of the ride. Now, strap yourselves in, because there are more Habari stories and adventures coming your way. Whoop. Big love, Steph and Ben. xx P.S. If you're bored, write your hometown and country in the comments below, so we can all see where you call home!
‘’Jordan Leads wants everybody to know she is alive and well. When she was six months old, she had her picture taken with her family at Joshua Tree’s Turtle Rock: a baby in midair, swaddled in a puffy purple jumpsuit, thrown over a disturbingly large gap between boulders. (Her parents, Jeff and Sherry, were the ones doing the throwing.) That photograph appeared in the Spring 1995 catalog. It also hung in the hallway of the house where Leads, now twenty-five, grew up. Sometimes people would comment on it when they came over, but it never really fazed her. When your house also features a massive four-car-garage-turned-climbing-gym that your dad built himself, and when you are raised on rock by that same dad and his friends, it all seems pretty normal, really. Besides, she adored climbing.’’ 〰️〰️〰️ https://www.patagonia.com/blog/2019/03/where-she-landed/?fbclid=IwAR0fWUCtHsnQQPSZS70FUWf2h2JHCK-VnDF2IvlH5R0ubJlrHOR9oPWXYM4&utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-patagonia&utm_content=later-1992821&utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram
Never before has our world been so connected or convenient. With the click of a button we can change the channel, drop the heat or book a trip to Barbados. Our food is grown, produced and plated-up to our exact liking. Drive-thrus, home deliveries, medical advances and the right to education. In a short space of time, life has transformed to one of convenience. So why are we so stressed, overweight and dreaming of being free? Have we forgotten something our ancestors knew? Africa's Hadza tribe is the closest we'll get to looking into that past. On the banks of Tanzania's Lake Eyasi, in the north of the country, lives the world's last hunter-gatherer tribe. They don't grow food, raise livestock or build permanent shelter. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than 10-thousand years. Their world is one of ultimate freedom - something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience. Let alone have the skills in which to stay alive. Social media, text messages and email don't exist. Nor cars and electricity. No jobs, bosses, timetables, social or religious structures. No laws, taxes and incredibly, no money - the closest thing to currency is the occasional trade for a pair of shorts or sandals with a neighbouring tribe. We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboon, a daily activity for the men, in what is a hot, harsh climate. They’ve left little more than a footprint on their land. About one-thousand Hadza still live in caves around Tanzania's Lake Eyasi in Africa's Great Rift Valley. Just south of here some of the oldest fossil evidence of early Hominids were discovered. By all modern standards, the Hadza shouldn't really exist. They remain an anomaly. A tribe time has forgotten. They do not engage in conflict, and have no memory of infectious outbreaks or starvation. Their population never exceeds numbers that cannot be sustained through hunting or gathering. The Hadza diet is simple. Meat - including birds, baboons, antelope and buffalo - killed by hand-made bows and arrows. Their language is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man ... a rhythmic dialect punctuated by clicking sounds. A linguist's delight.
Hey @bennyontheroad, I’ll raise your @teddysphotos pic with this snap of the @foofighters. When I first met these guys during our tv shoot, Dave Grohl walked in and super casually said, ‘Hey, I’m Dave.’ Um... I know who you are Dave! Top bloke. 🤘
‘So Ed, mate, all I’m saying is maybe you should think about branching out and looking at other options... in case this music thing doesn’t work out?’ A younger @bennyontheroad offering a young @teddysphotos life advice. It clearly wasn’t needed.
Overseeing the erection of the marquee for Aunty @madeleine_hunt_ ‘s wedding. It’s going to be a cracker! #love
2008: Stepping into Syria’s ancient caravan city of Palmyra - in stupidly short shorts. The UNESCO heritage site was badly damaged when it was occupied by ISIS. Archaeologists are now working painstakingly hard to restore the site to its former glory.
Desert butcher. Not far from our roadside camping spot in Western Sahara. A place you don’t sit still in for too long - locals advised us to drive quickly through to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania’s capital, Nouakchott, as Al-Qaeda was operating on the roads after nightfall (sorry mum and dad!). Landmines were also a risk if you drove off course, so our rockstar driver @susieontour had to keep our vehicle strictly on the road. We reached Nouakchott, not knowing what to expect ... we were met with offers of cigarettes and booze and found Internet good enough to watch a few episodes of Game of Thrones.
Rollin’ with the darling new bambina. We took less gear with us to Africa! 🤣 Welcome to this wonderful, big, wide world, Matilda Mae.
The distinct beauty of the Himba tribe, Namibia.
‘Jessica!!!’ Our Friday night viewing is The Man From Snowy River. We’re currently in the city listening to rain falling on a tin roof... wishing we were in the bush listening to rain falling on a tin roof. (Tom Burlinson snapped by @bennyontheroad during an epic stint of filming in the Victorian High Country.)
I feel so very honoured to have been interviewed by the wonderful @matttinney for his podcast Good Chat. Matt speaks with women from different backgrounds who have lessons and ideas to inspire his darling young daughter, Flo. We had an absolute ball - and were in stitches pretty much the whole way through. I haven’t laughed that hard in ages. Check it out (and many more brilliant episodes) and subscribe to Good Chat via Apple iTunes etc. Thanks Tinney!! You’re a great man.✌️
Top of Mt Kilimanjaro - the roof of Africa. Six days of climbing and filming on the tallest freestanding mountain in the world.
Ethiopia's salt miners. DIARY ENTRY: 'We watch as the men dive deep into the black waterholes, holding their breath as they shovel salt into buckets. The salt looks like black sludge. It is bagged up and then carted up up a steep, rocky track via donkey. All for just a few dollars a day-but jobs are rare and the men must provide for their families. The high levels of salt burn the workers' eyes and skin. They show us cuts, rashes and scars. Their eyes are blood-shot and hard to keep open in the sun. The men make foam plugs to put up their nose and in their ears, but the work remains incredibly painful with dangerous long-term health effects.'
‘Inle Lake Fisherman’ - heading off to the printers/framers tomorrow for a very special order. This is one of our more calming photos, taken during an early morning paddle along Inle as the sun was rising over Myanmar.
