Wouldn’t you think these a little strange if you found them growing in your garden? More so, if after 7 years of living in the same place, this is the first time you’ve seen them. I wish I knew the name of the plant that […]

The September Sun
Picture this. It’s Friday evening and you’ve spent the whole day at work, followed by a couple of hours at Ikea. You’re on your way home and the sun is in that blinding position in the middle of the windscreen where neither the sun visor […]
Portuguese Macros
While I was in Portugal earlier this month I packed with me every single item of photography ‘equipment’ I have. I say ‘equipment’ mostly because it’s just a couple of lenses and a GorillaPod! Anywho, I took it all with me, including my old macro […]
