July consisted of two things – a trip to the Isle of Man, and quitting my job. I’d not been to the Isle of Man in over 20 years. When a round of the English fell championships was announced we made plans to go straight away – on another note, being a sovereign country, I have no idea how a… Read more →
Scotland. Why are you so far away from me? Why do you do this to me every time I visit. Two weeks of sunshine broken on the last drive on the way home by thunderstorms. Shooting with focus at the Fort William DH world cup reaffirmed what was lying in the back of my head – bikes are fucking rad.… Read more →
Summer arrived with a thud. Suddenly, summer. Nearly four months solid of it. The first two weeks of solid summer I’ve ever had in Scotland. Good light – either crisp spring or forceful summer – gets the camera out and keeps it out. First month I’ve shot over 300 images in a long time. I don’t do burst images. Hangover… Read more →
I’m not an April person. It’s a hard month, mentally and environmentally for me. Not yet warm. Not yet light. Not yet summer. I don’t function well. So I do the things I know best, even if I don’t do it well anymore. The tiny human became more mobile than ever. Playtime became something that had to be undertaken rathern… Read more →

Back from a break in Scotland for two weeks. A lot of photos taken. A lot of things done. Some updates to come. Read more →
Haven’t thought much about the images I’ve taken in March. Bar one. So happy with the photo, and the subject. I’ll get around to posting more at some stage. Read more →
On time, not a chance. Go me. Crap weather, a lot of time indoors, crap light and too much going on to get the camera out much. Tiny human still not dead – parenting success at its best. First month I’ve not had a cold, but some other disease made me spend too much time on the porcelain throne for… Read more →
It’s not something I’ve written about much. But those who know me, know that I joined my local mountain rescue team a little over one year ago. In January, we had our final assessment. Words below, photos at the URL: http://www.cvsrt.org.uk/the-team/news/probie-assessment-2018 It’s been a wonderful experience. I’ve done and seen things I’d never expected to do. I’ve helped and been helped… Read more →
