In a room on the top floor I closed the door behind me and took a photo album into the dusty bathtub and lent back with my knees up in front of me and my head on a greasy pillow. Light filtered very pleasantly down through the green vines that laced the unglazed window and the fulsome trees outside. A second shaft of light fell through a space in the torn ceiling. My body felt very still, apart from my heart which I could feel beating and also hear, and it was the only sound in the room apart from birdsong.
 
“I think it's one of the finest photo essays ever produced. ‘Ballardesque’ is the smug shorthand that comes to mind, but NJ's work defies comparison. Brilliant.” 
Chip Smith, Ninebanded Books

“A libidinous psychogeography of the colonial mind from a faceless voice wandering the fringes of the 'civilised' world.”
