Knowing how long it takes for me to write a regular blog post, I thought I’d instead share a shorter one featuring some highlights from last month’s trip abroad to Hong Kong and Europe. It was an absolute privilege to be able to visit the port cities shown below, and to see (as well as…
24 April 2018 – On a night that would have otherwise been spent in front of the telly watching Netflix, it was great to have the opportunity instead to head out somewhere locally for a little photography with friends. Our subject for the evening was the SS Ayrfield, Homebush Bay’s iconic shipwreck turned floating forest.…
26 January 2018 – Having arrived in Adelaide just a couple of hours ahead of the scheduled start of the Australia Day fireworks, my wife and I decided to head straight out to Elder Park, one of the main vantage points in the city for the light show. However, it turned out that the location…
The idea of a fire breathing, dragon-shaped bridge might seem like something out of a science fiction and fantasy novel, but somehow it all seems to makes sense in Da Nang. The port city, located on the east coast of central Vietnam, has seen significant economic development as well as growth in the number of…
3 May 2016 – Following an eventful hike up to see the Old Man of Storr, my wife and I headed out to the next destination on our list – the Fairy Pools of Skye. Located at the base of the Cuillin Mountains, the pools are a popular attraction for walkers as well as photographers. The…

For example, in an earlier post I talked about how limiting myself to using a single prime lens during an outing really helped me to…
16 May 2017 – It was hardly a surprise to read that Lonely Planet had recently ranked Seville as the top city to visit in 2018 – after all, the capital of Spain’s Andalusia region certainly has a lot to offer travellers in search of culture and beauty, from its share of famous historical landmarks and…
24 May 2017 – Having long been an admirer of his visually stunning cityscapes, it was great to run into and finally meet Dubai based photographer Daniel Cheong during our brief stop at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) in Doha. The museum, designed by renowned Chinese American architect I.M. Pei, is located at the…
Good Friday, 25 March 2016 – It was very much a last minute decision to go ahead with our shoot at Dover Heights. The late afternoon weather wasn’t looking all that promising with thick grey clouds blanketing over much of the city, but after a few messages back and forth on facebook with my friend Ana,…
