We are delighted to welcome back John Bulmer, award winning photographer, film cameraman and director, to introduce one of his recent ethnographic documentaries. Inspired by unusual places and peoples John has directed and photographed over forty films for BBC's Under the Sun, Channel Four and Discovery Channel.

Beehives and Runaway Wives is a fascinating portrait of the remote Sheko people of Ethiopia who live by gathering honey from the highest trees of the rainforest. It's a risky business as we find when we follow Miangu in his quest for honey while he contemplates thorny domestic troubles at home.

The Hereford Photography Festival in May/June 2009 will feature an exhibition of John Bulmer's photographs. See www.photofest.org for more details.
