Hey friends, One of my most successful shots of 2020 was also one of the easiest I made during that year. Living by the sea on the south coast of Spain is very peaceful and beautiful, but being on the edge of the sea also brings tempestuous weather. Like most southern European houses, mine has […]
Hey folks, How are you doing today? In some recent internet explorations I came across the most fascinating website called, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. Created by John Koenig, it is a collection of “newly invented word(s) for a strangely powerful emotion.” I found myself diving into it when I read about the word vemödalen: […]

Hey folks, Today I want to bring you some very relevant and useful pieces of creative wisdom from the late, great writer Henry Miller. In these days of 24 hour news, in these days of stress about the planet and politics, of uprisings and obstructions, of frustrations and injustices. (And that’s before we’ve even thought […]
A few days ago my son and I went on the famous Caminito del Rey walk in Andalusia. It was once the world’s most dangerous walk, tiny walkways clinging to the hills with 100-metre drops, but after the renovations, it now offers stunning views across beautiful gorges and valleys. It was fun walking over the moving […]
