It was the weekender at a local pub, I couldn’t attend on Saturday beacause of conflicting photo assignments, but I am so glad I went last night. I saw 3 acts, Lisa was the first one I caught.

There are so many vivid postcard moments that I want to photograph and experience. In my mind I want to see Disney’s Lion King come to life through my lens. I want to see the real people of Africa, the …

“It was a dark and stormy night…” Well, not quite, but it was one of the chilliest days around our capital I’ve experienced this year so far. I had 3 layers on and I still felt icy.
A dozen photographers from the website travelphotographers.net gathered in London to take shots that we may not normally take. Having worked in London for many years, I still don’t know it anywhere near as well as I’d like to, so this had great potential to photograph environments I had never been before.
