I didn’t think I’d be able to do any blog posts from my most recent trip as I thought I’d had my cabin baggage stolen, which contained my camera, back up disk ,laptop, and other equipment. A very stressful 3 weeks later I was informed that it was found at Gatwick airport! A 7 hour round trip ensued to retrieve […]
On the way back from New Orleans we dropped down the West coast of Florida and spent a couple of days in Naples as some friends were also escaping the English winter and spending a month there. We enjoyed a spectacular sunset on our first evening as you can see above. The next day there was a one day car […]
Apart from the obvious tourist part of New Orleans that everyone has seen in films and photographs I had no idea what else to expect there. The central area and famous Bourbon Street was exactly as I imagined it to be, but a lot of the buildings and roads are in a pretty poor state of repair and N.O seems […]
I’ve wanted to visit New Orleans for some years, so straight after landing back from Mexico we got on the road and started a road trip from Orlando. The intention was to drive for no more than 3 hours maximum each day, and avoid the major highway as much as possible, thereby seeing some of the interesting places along the […]
Here’s a selection of images I took in January whilst in Florida. It was fantastic to escape the English winter for a few weeks 🙂 Photographing birds is not my strong point but I’m reasonably happy with these few. This Great Egret took several minutes turning this fish around in its beak until it was at the right angle to […]
Here are a few photos from my recent trip to Florida. It’s certainly a great escape from the English weather and I look forward to visiting again in the winter. A very interesting day was spent at the Kennedy Space Centre. It’s hard to understand the scale of these rockets, until you see just how small people are compared to […]
This was the canyon that I was most looking forward to seeing, and it blew me away. A canyon carved out of the rocks by years of flash floods. At the right time of year and day the sunlight throws beams straight down to the ground like spotlights. Words can’t describe it and the photos don’t do it justice. I’ve […]

One of our stops along Route 66 was at the town of Holbrook. I was amazed to see what looked like the cars from the Disney/Pixar film ‘cars’. It turns out that the cartoon cars in the film were actually based on these, so I had to get some photos for my grandson, who loves that film. Below are […]

I got very behind with my blog, so this is going back 6 months to the rest of the USA road trip. The Grand Canyon has been ‘on my list’ for a few years and it’s certainly breathtaking. We did a late afternoon shoot at this next place and got very lost trying to find it. We came across what […]

A little general store was a treasure trove of photographic opportunities. As we had strictly limited the photographers on this trip so that they had plenty of teaching time and space, I was not an ‘official’ shooter. This meant that any shots of the models were ‘grab’ shots ensuring that I didn’t get in the way of anyone else. […]
