…On Writing, Art and Photography…
19 November 2018 – They say that once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget. Now I’m not sure if that saying is analogous to using a camera, for after a couple of months away from doing any personal landscape photography it certainly felt as though I was back on my training…
May 2018 – For many first-time visitors, the vibrant, colourful facades lined along Nyhavn’s waterfront would have to be the first image that comes to mind at the mention of Copenhagen. Well, that and the Little Mermaid statue (which we did not end up seeing during our time in the city). Appearing on countless postcards,…
May 2018 – The city of Copenhagen was the last stop on our visit to Europe in May, and perhaps the least planned part of our itinerary. There was no set ‘things to do, places to see’ list for our entire four days here, which in many ways made it all the more relaxing. I…
May 2018 – The following post is a collection of street shots taken in the district of Tsim Sha Tsui, on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. As you can probably tell from the title, I ended up with quite a number featuring people on their phones (unintentionally, though quite easy to do in a…
20 April 2016 – After a fourteen hour flight onboard Emirates from Sydney to Dubai and a further eight hours from Dubai to London (following a two hour stopover), it was a great relief to finally arrive at Heathrow Airport.

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…
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 main walk…
2 December 2017 – It’s funny how a song can sometimes trigger a memory of a certain time and place… Take “Rhythm of Love” by the Plain White T’s for example: hearing the song transports me back to San Francisco in 2012, at a time when it seemed to be all over the airwaves there…
