One thing about the Italians, they sure love to smoke. I think it’s pretty common in continental Europe but compared to London there are a lot of Marlborough men and women. Had a pretty transport intensive trip over here, it went walk, train, plane, bus, train, walk; it might not sound like much but when […]

If you’re a regular follower of my blog you may have read this post a few months back. Rather than give you the background to the Shoot London events again I’ll suggest you take a squiz at the other entry and then return to this one. So this time round the event was held at […]

I think it’s been 2 weeks since my last update, I did actually head to Borough Markets on the weekend before last and managed to get a few shots, but I think I’ll save those for a rainy day and instead talk about the weekend just passed. On Saturday I headed out to Richmond Park […]

White Christmas? Check – Fernie 2003, La Plagne 2006 White Easter? Check – Lakes District 2008 Before heading up to Lakes District over Easter I’d heard there was talk of snow. I thought to myself it would be nice if we had a massive dump of snow one night and by the next day the […]

On the weekend I decided to brave the crowds and head to the TNT Travel Show. My official reason for going was to hear a talk from some punter on Travel Photography (does that need capitalisation? It felt like it did for some reason, if only I had Fowler’s Guide to Modern English Usage handy […]

After starting off in a blaze of glory a few weeks ago my photo taking seems to have stalled somewhat and for a second embarrassing week I have nothing new to show you. I’m blaming it on the fact I’ve started work this week so have 35 hours less to get out there, and also […]
