We’ve been to the Grand Canyon a couple of times now, and the first time we went, I was completely unprepared for how it would photograph. The scale is almost impossible to process in person, let alone through a viewfinder. I spent the first half hour just staring at it. I got over that fairly […]

6 Things That Are Just Better in America
I’m just wrapping up my time here in America, and I wanted to finish it off with a post about some of the things I’ve noticed here that are, well, just generally better than in other places. Sure, America has that wacky obsession with gun ownership, and a love of policing the world, and you […]
The Best Things to Do in Kensington & South Kensington, London
Kensington and South Kensington make up one of the best neighbourhoods in London for a day out, and I say that as someone who lived in the capital for years and keeps coming back for more. Within a short walk you’ve got three of London’s finest museums (all free), a royal palace, one of the […]

Stonehenge, Bath and the Cotswolds: planning your day trip from London
Stonehenge is one of those places almost everyone visiting London wants to see, and happily it makes a great day trip from the city. The harder part is working out how to get there, and whether to bundle in Bath and a pretty Cotswolds village while you’re at it. There are two good ways to […]
Two Weeks in Sri Lanka: A Complete 2026 Itinerary From Someone Who Keeps Going Back
I have visited Sri Lanka multiple times over the years, starting with a short trip that left me convinced I needed to come back for longer, and then doing exactly that on several occasions since. It is one of those places that is easy to underestimate from the outside, being a relatively small island off […]
How to Spend a Weekend in Cambria, California
During our time living in California, we spent a lot of weekends exploring the coastal communities between San Francisco and Los Angeles. One of our favourites was Cambria, a small town on the Central Coast that we came back to more than once. Cambria sits roughly halfway between San Francisco and LA, around three to […]
The Best Photography Spots In Yosemite
Yosemite is a landscape photographer’s dream. It was here that Ansel Adams took so many of his iconic images, and where countless photographers since then have come to try and capture a little of the wonder of this place. It’s no surprise therefore that when I was based in California that it was very high […]
Things to Do in Redding California
Up in the northeastern part of California, around a 3.5 hour drive from San Francisco, is the city of Redding, found in the Shasta Cascade region. This part of California is excellent for lovers of the outdoors and landscape photographers like me, offering mountains, lakes, potentially live volcanoes and of course, hiking and photo opportunities […]
