  • Sadness in Stone

    Sadness in Stone

    This is another statue from my trip to Cyprus several years ago. I think she looks a little unhappy, what do you think? What did this image teach me? That taking time to scroll back through the archive of photos is always time well spent.

  • The Stone Face, Cracked

    The Stone Face, Cracked

    I found this ancient stone face in a museum on Cyprus. It was a small place, full of old stone objects. What did this image teach me? That even an old, cracked, crusty face is worth a photograph.

  • The Falls of Foyers

    The Falls of Foyers

    This stunning waterfall can be found in the Highlands of Scotland, at a place called Foyers. What did this image teach me? Following your instincts when travelling around the Highlands of Scotland can sometimes result in something incredible.

  • Staffa Island

    Staffa Island

    I’ve been working through the archives again, and came across this nautical image. This is Staffa Island, at the Scottish end of the Giant’s Causeway. What did this image teach me? That taking wide angle panoramas on a bobbing boat can be something of a challenge!

    Capri Sun

  • Dark Dubai

    Dark Dubai

    Keeping with the Dubai theme, these two photographs were taken in that hot, extravagant emirate on the same day, just a few minutes apart – they were shot in broad daylight. I’ve edited them to look a little surreal, somewhat abstract… they have the feeling of model kits to me, rather than genuine, giant skyscrapers.…

  • Dubai Pink

    Dubai Pink

    This is a pair of archive shots, this time from Dubai. That skyline is so distinct and unforgettable, even when viewed from miles away. What have these images taught me? That revisiting the archive is a very valuable activity – there are some incredible shots just waiting for the right moment to shine, so don’t…

  • Italian Sky

    Italian Sky

    I’ve been going through the archives, looking for images that remind me of sunnier times – and this one floated to the surface – it’s part of the Amalfi Coast, in Italy. What did this image teach me? That in certain conditions mobile phone photos are probably as good as DSLRs. Also that changing a…
