Now, if you’re one of my regular readers (dad, ?, …….) you’ll have been waiting with feverish excitement these last 6 days, on the edge of your seat dreaming up what this mini-project mystery I promised last week could possibly be. Well, wait no more. I bought a head torch a few months back with […]

As I was poking round Stanstead airport waiting for my flight to Genoa (or Genova if you’re Italian – why do countries feel the need to change the names of cities in other countries?) I noticed one of the airport bookstores featuring signs proudly boasting “Exclusive airport edition” for many of their books. Has anyone […]

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.

It’s not so much the fact I’m now into my thirties that bothers me, it’s more the fact I’m no longer in my twenties. I know they sound like exactly the same thing, and logically they have to be, but in my mind they’re very different. So, it was with this last hurrah mentality that […]

What’s this, a Blog update on a Saturday? Yeah, that’s right, just another example of my unconventional approach to photography and my total disregard for society’s conventions. I write this 7 days after another fantastic photographic treasure hunt, this time round it was Shoot Portobello. This is the third such event that my cohorts and […]

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 […]
