Watching The Wall Go Up
Thanks to some generous colleagues and the last minute availability of a spare “hospitality” ticket, I was lucky enough to get into a sold-out Roger Waters concert based on Pink Floyd’s The Wall this week. It was a really great … Continue reading
Spring is Here!
One of my birthday presents was a dance photography masterclass, hosted at the Victoria and Albert museum and led by renowned dance photographer Chris Nash. This was a bit of a departure for my photography, although followers of my blog … Continue reading
Compact Camera Alienation?
Are compact and cellphone cameras fundamentally unsuited to a significant subset of the population? I am short sighted. With an SLR I look through the viewfinder at an image focused at the optical equivalent of about 1m, maybe a bit … Continue reading
What to Get for a Photographer’s Birthday

Cuba Photo Notes
“Photographer’s paradise” is probably putting it far too strongly, but Cuba does provide easy access to a great range of material in almost every genre: fashion and international sports might be a bit of a challenge (unless you bring some … Continue reading
An Uncomfortable Vision
I took this picture almost on auto-pilot, and was immediately torn about whether to keep it, or delete it. Was I guilty of exploiting the little girl? However, what happened next was interesting, and a tale worth telling. Another tourist … Continue reading
