There are circumstances throughout life that are inclined to encourage personal growth, independence and inspiration. Hardship is one. We’re all familiar with the age old saying, ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ Fortunately for us, another way to gain these personal improvements is through international travel. I am a firm believer that travel should [...]
I’m not feeling creative with my naming criteria today. I went to Brighton for a short holiday last summer. As I was by myself I ended up spending a lot of time in parks reading, taking photos and generally being quite drunk. This is one of those beer inspired photos. Coincidentally I am heading back [...]
“If you read a lot, nothing is as great as you’ve imagined. Venice is - Venice is better.” – Fran Lebowitz Venice is an interesting place to visit. Yes, absolutely it is more amazing and grand than you could expect. The architecture and culture is unique and historic. But it can be tempered, in the summer months, [...]
I had the fortune of seeing this plane at the Fairford Air Show 2010 and I have to say… it terrified me. It’s agility and ability to be tossed through the sky is surreal. It’s like a space ship. One that will come to eat your soul, right after you have soiled yourself. But seriously, [...]

I do not remember taking this photo. I do know it was taken on a canal boat voyage down the Canal du Midi in Southern France. But in my own defence I drank silly quantities of Rosé on that trip so it’s no surprise I can’t remember. There is only so much you can do on [...]
This is a memorial sculpture for dead soldiers (I can’t find the actual name of it anywhere. If you know, be so kind as to leave a comment), in Berlin. It depicts a mother with her dead son. I found Berlin to be quite an emotional city. There are still a lot of memories from the war [...]
I was on holiday in Paris with my parents and as all Parisian tourists, we went up the Eiffel Tower. However being young and male, I proposed we use the stair’s over the much more sedate and probably less awesome elevator. Aside from being an immense climb up flight after flight of increasingly elevated stairs, the [...]
There are some objects or images that are instantly recognisable and as the old adage goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. When I saw this hanging from a tree in a suburban part of East London, neatly arranged and tied to the branch, a string of sad tragedies played out in my head. Perhaps [...]
