It has been brought to my attention that not everyone out there has this thing called Facebook. You poor hapless individuals you. In the case of this blog, I share a lot of photos over on Facebook, many of which don’t make it here. Rather than force you into using Facebook merely to keep up […]

The art of procrastination, and an introduction
I started this travel blog quite a long time ago. Just over two years ago in fact, as this recent post illustrates. Throughout that whole time, I’ve had a silent partner who has been helping me out, providing handy feedback, checking my grammar, researching destinations and carting bits of camera kit around. And other than […]
Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter: A Photographer’s Self-Guided Walking Route
I first visited Barcelona in 2012, and Jess and I have been going back ever since. On every trip I end up in the same place: the Gothic Quarter, camera in hand, taking the same wrong turns I took the last time and being quietly pleased about it. I’ve photographed a lot of old cities […]
The Queen and I.
The Queen and I have a fairly relaxed relationship. She gets on with being all regal and attending charity events and wearing hats, and I get on with, well, the sort of things I get on with. Mostly our lives don’t overlap terribly, and I am totally fine with that. I have no problem with […]

Celebrating two years of blogging! (and some things I’ve learnt on the way)

Australia–a land of contrast
I spent a year traversing the vast nation of Australia by four wheel drive, and in that time I took in some absolutely spectacular sights. I was asked to put together a guest photo post by the wonderful Samuel of travel blog Nomadic Samuel, on a theme of my choice, and I thought I’d share […]
That time I was shipwrecked
I recently undertook a 3000km round trip across Europe for entirely unexciting reasons. Unless sorting out stuff in a loft you’ve not been in for four years counts as interesting. This trip allowed me two things. One, lots of time to listen to Abba, as my Mum was in charge of the music selection. Two, […]
Travel blogging tips from the experts: Travel yourself
In today’s travel blogging tips interview I’ve been able to grab hold of Cailin O’Neil, the writing and video talent behind no less than three travel blogs covering her life, her travel stories and food. There was me thinking one site was hard enough to run! Cailin is the first person I’ve interviewed in this […]
The Best Viewpoints in Barcelona: A Photographer’s Guide to the Views
I first visited Barcelona in 2012, and Jess and I have been back many times since. Somewhere on every trip I end up chasing the same thing: the city seen from above, with a camera in my hand and the light doing something worth waiting for. I’ve shot it from the hill at Park Güell, […]
