It’s a perfect Parisian evening. A light breeze dances through the Jardin Du Luxembourg with the sweetness of red and purple blossoms. Tanned bodies sprawl across the lawn; bare skin against electric green. Little white triangles tack across the glossy fountain pond as children run alongside with sailors’ glee. Powder-green chairs sit in messy clusters;ContinueContinue reading “For The Love of Paris: a photowalk”

A Photo Walk in Melbourne, Australia
Crisp leaves scrape along the windy path. Coffee grind scents the morning air. A dog dressed in tartan trots next to a lady in black. I’m as comfortable here, walking camera-in-hand, as I’ve been anywhere in the world. Melbourne is cold and exciting. It inspires creative footsteps. It urges me to capture the quirks ofContinueContinue reading “A Photo Walk in Melbourne, Australia”
Falling in Love with Lisbon, Portugal
Pink dawn lingers on olive groves as I wake on the train to Lisbon. A hazy blue hangs above the distant horizon, hinting at the salty river beyond. I am excited to see the city that so many have dubbed their offbeat favourite and can feel butterflies building in my belly as we approach. SaintContinueContinue reading “Falling in Love with Lisbon, Portugal”
Barcelona express: food, sights and culture in two days
Here is a little post written during my visit to Barcelona a couple of weeks ago… now that I’m walking el Camino across Spain, Barcelona streets seem so far away.

Although only my thirdContinueContinue reading “Barcelona express: food, sights and culture in two days”

Some of my favourite days here have been spent wandering the labyrinth of possibilities, taking time to notice and capture the quirks that collectively createContinueContinue reading “Wide angle: a photo walk through Istanbul, Turkey”
Impressions of Istanbul, Turkey
The thing about Istanbul is, it’s not an easy place to sum up. I’ve sat here scribbling impressions for a hour and my list is long and varied. From the hundreds of ornate mosques that call the city to pray each day, to the high-end fashion and modern bohemian vibe, it is clear that IstanbulContinueContinue reading “Impressions of Istanbul, Turkey”
The road to Glasgow, Scotland: the Highlands, Ben Nevis and Loch Lomond
When you look at the squiggly black line on a map, it’s hard to know what is in store for you on the road ahead. That 3cm patch of green ‘vegetation’ never quite translates to those tumbling fields of pastel green, the scraggly woodland thickets or proud lines of Scottish pines; that blob of blueContinueContinue reading “The road to Glasgow, Scotland: the Highlands, Ben Nevis and Loch Lomond”
Wide angle: a day out in Brisbane
Brisbane is a city of possibilities; an accessible hub of cultural adventures. After living here for almost three years, I am still regularly amazed at how a seemingly quiet Saturday morning can transform into a day of unexpected delights. This Saturday was one of those days; unscheduled, uncompromised spontaneous adventure. 10.30am: The morning sunshine hasContinueContinue reading “Wide angle: a day out in Brisbane”
