To me. The snow and the cacti just didn’t make sense. It’s not something I think should make sense. Cacti are in the desert. There’s no snow in the desert, right? Arizona proved me wrong. It had a lot more unexpected snow that I was […]
Not the sunset I was after
Taken in August, 2019 at Huntington Beach in California. I was waiting for the sunset shot. Something dramatic to appear in the sky. But as the sunset, the clouds moved in and the interesting sort of just fizzled out. Just another occasion on a long […]
Feeling the passage of time
I didn’t think much of this photo when I took it. A scene I see and experience every day. A place I was in all the time. But looking back at it a few years later (I took this back in 2018), it brings back […]
Missing this
Weaving around plastic baskets, tables piled with kids clothes, and other seemingly random odds and ends. I don’t buy anything. Or very rarely. There’s something about walking around a souk. Even the incredibly quiet Muharraq souq, in Bahrain, on a Sunday afternoon. There isn’t anything […]

What does autumn look like in the desert? A lot what you’d think autumn to look like. It just arrives a little later. Doesn’t last as long. And usually has some rain. Except last year. Autumn weather gets me nostalgic for autumn weather in England. […]
I don’t really know what I’m doing here
Storytelling. I think I suck at it. When it comes to storytelling and the photos and images I create. I struggle with how to tell a story with a series of images beyond the photos capturing something… something remarkable to me. The ability to be […]
Bahrain in a nutshell
This image is Bahrain, for me. It’s constantly under construction. There’s something new coming soon. And what was once new not so long ago, is left in the wake of what’s to come. And that was true for so many things. Looking back, I guess […]
