2025-02-10 22:17:34 UTC
My Birthday is not until Friday 14th, however, my celebrations have begun. It started with a trip to Grantham to spend the weekend with my dear friend Heather. Grantham is part of Lincoln and this was my nearest station to get off. The image above is the spot where boy…

Birthday Celebrations
2025-02-06 00:27:56 UTC
2025 represents my 61st year around the Sun. It's a privilege to get this far in life. Since my mother died, life has held very little meaning for me with the exception of my work as a magician and this daily journal. So my celebrations for my 61st begins with…

Joy of The Moment
2024-09-03 20:39:07 UTC
I'm working backwards from the last three months. My camera was stolen. The violation had an impact on me. While my camera was replaced, I was left feeling the impact and contemplating the real meaning and lesson to be learnt from such an experience. Maybe it was karma? I don't…

The Spirit of Adventure
2023-09-11 11:06:29 UTC
Getting on a train for a day out of London is all part of my adventurous spirit. My photography on such a day begins the moment I arrive at the station. This sets the context for the journey. I love the contrast of departure and arriving at my destination. The…

Visions of Amsterdam
2023-07-26 08:37:20 UTC
My journey to Amsterdam began with me documenting images the moment I arrived at my train station. It was an early start and get, the morning light greeted me warmly. With few people about, it meant a still and quiet frame. It’s an easy journey to St.Pancras, just difficult with…

A Prologue To Amsterdam
2023-07-17 10:49:12 UTC
My Career as a Magician is slowly coming back to full life and expression. This week, I Travel to Amsterdam for two public performances and a special Lecture for the Dutch Magicians. I am very excited. I mention this because besides packing my clothes and props, I need to carefully…

Archive Memories
2022-07-16 15:05:17 UTC
My Archive is my happy place. It is here that I can connect with the joy of my life. The privilege of traveling to far flung places. I wouldn’t have had these experiences if wasn’t for my career in Magic. These first few images were created in Tandil. This town…

XF 10-24mm | 10mm Vision
2022-05-17 14:41:59 UTC
I set my focal length to 10mm. My Goodness - the canvass becomes wider & deeper. This means getting closer and keeping my Camera straight to ensure straight lines. It is a beautiful extension on the classic frame of 35mm. It just means paying close attention too my lines and…

55-200mm
2019-08-28 21:00:43 UTC
I read many reviews and opinions about this Lens. Many points of view were relatively favourable. When compared to the XF50-140, no comparison. I don’t own the 50-140mm Lens. I cannot compare. The longest reach I have in my XF tool box is the 55-200mm And I love it. This…

My Journey So Far
2019-04-07 22:17:39 UTC
This image of The Great Wall of China will forever by a reminder of where my Photography was eight years ago. This was created using a camera I still pine for, The Nikon D90. In hindsight, I question myself now as to why I sold it for an upgrade? Silly…

East Coast Journal | Day 5
2018-11-09 16:36:08 UTC
I spent the whole day traveling today. A long journey from D.C. to Philadelphia with an extra local train towards New Jersey. My stop was Philmont. This excursion was feature rich with photographic moments. The Light was gorgeous around Union Station. The architecture stunning. I was truly spoilt, my camera…

East Coast Journal | Departure
2018-11-01 09:50:08 UTC
Packing is all done. I wish I could Travel Light. Not possible. 23kg is dam heavy once I hit that threshold. The saving grace is my camera XPRO2 18-135mm - and the stunning 23mm 1.4. That’s it, that’s all I need. This is a live conversation so stay tuned. X

Back To Basics | Enjoying My X100T
2018-09-23 18:23:40 UTC
When push comes to shove, keeping things simple in life is key to stress free living. This is why, hand on heart, I love my X100T. The Battery Life SUCKS. So what, I have 8 Batteries. On a good day, I can create images aggressively. Plus the fact, I transfer…

This is FISM; the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques - this is the international body which brings together the world’s leading magic societies.
