A Surprise Sunset at Milford It had been raining all day. I was waiting for sunset but didn’t have high expectations. Milford Sound is famously rainy and there hadn’t been even the slightest glimpse of a sky since we’d arrived earlier in the day – just thick clouds and rain. But of course, as photographers, […]
The Most Photographed Tree in the World? We went to the beautiful town of Wanaka for 2 days, not to take photos, but to see my wife’s brother who has been living there for years. I’ve never really been interested in taking photos of the Wanaka tree. I’ve seen some very nice images of it, […]
Taking a Dangerous Risk This wonderful location is one of the main reasons I came to New Zealand. For years I’ve wanted to capture a dynamic seascape with those lovely starfish (I’m not sure if these are starfish, so apologies if I’m wrong), and water cutting through the narrow gullies.

New Journal 45 – The Beard is Back Eight weeks after leaving the UK, freshly shaven and excited about the adventures to come, I caught sight of myself today in a shop window in downtown Portland.

New Journal 35 – Arriving in San Francisco A very large man, dressed in a tiny spandex wrestling outfit, danced in front of our car. A sailor ran over to him, gave him a hug and they both trotted merrily away. Colourful characters were everywhere in what seemed to be a street-wide burlesque. Our driver […]
French Journal Day 138 (Travel Diary Day 218) We’ve installed ourselves nicely in Paris now. Our neighbourhood is lovely, right along the canal. It’s incredibly bohemian with cool cafes and jazz bars everywhere. We also live near a lively, clean park full of runners, families out for a stroll and dog walkers. It’s a breath […]
French Journal Day 134 (Travel Diary Day 214) This is my final journal entry from Arcy-Sur-Cure in Burgundy, Northern France. We’ve spent the best part of today packing and cleaning Betsy. I found 4.27 euros under my seat – a definite bonus. Since I didn’t know this money existed, it’s bonus cash, which means you […]
