New Journal 57 – Learning to swim Most adults feel at home in the water. Others, however, believe that the water will take them one day, and if the water doesn’t finish them off, whatever horribleness deep within almost certainly will. I was a weak swimmer. I could do a manic front crawl for about […]
New Journal 16 – Santiago As the sun began to set, we were joined by a puppy. He decided to make his bed under my tripod. We were standing at a lookout on Cerro San Cristobal overlooking the city and mountains. The view was stunning. Two young fellas joined us and began chatting. After a […]
New Journal Entry 1 – Entering into the unknown What does it mean to live a meaningful life? As the sand of time has slithered its way through to the bottom of the hour glass, it is time for Rachel and I to once again leave the shores of home and venture into lands unknown […]
French Journal Day 161 (Travel Diary Day 241) I met with an app developer today about creating unique and functional apps for HDR photography and photography in general.

It’s been a time of both tranquility and productivity here but not much in the way of adventure. After getting acquainted with our neighbourhood on […]
French Journal Day 132 (Travel Diary Day 212) This morning we saw Jess for the final time. As usual, she didn’t recognise us. We felt a strange mix of emotions as we said goodbye. On the one hand, we were relieved not to have to go back to the home she stayed in. The staff […]
French Journal Day 131 (Travel Diary Day 211) “Di sana!” replied the driver, pointing into a dusty abyss. “Di mana?” I asked again. I could barely see 10 metres ahead – the chance of spying Bromo, the volcano, was slim. Dozens of people either side of us fizzed past on motorbikes, faces covered, skidding left […]
