BOUGAINVILLE PHOTOS

This page contains a large number of photos from Bougainville. I took around 1,500 photos in a little over two months. I also found a large number of photos that were in a shared computer folder that were taken by many people. A number of them may also have been taken by PR but I'm not sure. Please be aware that the copyright for all the photos remains with the respective photographers.

If one of your photos is on the site and you would like it removed please contact me via the contacts page. If you have photos which are good and you would like to see them on the site - make sure they are at least 800 pixels on the longest side. Enjoy
