This Blog

This blog is in part a journal that reflects what I've been shooting on a day-to-day basis, but it's also a reflection of the nuggets of practical practical knowledge or information I gain along the way. Photographers young, old, pro, amateur or whatever need to be learning all the time, as new technology, techniques and approaches come along. The same is true of most things in life and since every experience brings something new I think it's useful to share a record of these experiences.

It's also a chance for me to post on what I think about 'stuff' and to have a laugh at the world, though my photography. Oh, and to point others to some of the great opportunities there are out there for photographers on the web. And maybe to help others learn some of the stuff I have along the way.

The Blog usually updates on a Monday and a Friday, with one post focussed on a series of images and the other an oft rambling discussion of the things I'm working on, thinking about, reading or generally obsessing about at that time.

Although the default blog width is relatively large, a mobile version of the blog is available.
