Photo (Gallery) of the Week: Bicycles of Amsterdam

To call my decision making regarding the topic of this series arbitrary is a discredit… to the word ‘arbitrary’. Last night I dreamt of cycling so today you get a gallery of bicycles! Bikes are everywhere in Amsterdam and the whole city appears to be a utopia for cycling commuters. Flat, well maintained roads. True […]

Photo of the Week: Winter Sun in Amsterdam

Sometimes you take a photograph that is all kinds of wrong according to the rules. Too dark, too bright, too sharp, too soft. But the thing about rules in photography is that we learn them so that we can break them. Sometimes that leads to a shot which you, and only you may really enjoy. […]

Photo of the Week: Christmas Time in Dam Square

Christmastime in Amsterdam. Always one of my favourite moments of the year. There is just something about the place that makes me think it is the perfect location to get into the Christmas spirt.

I have a bit to write about.

It’s fair to say that I have a lot of writing to catch up on. Somewhere in the region of 10 months worth if I’m honest. Since I last put finger to keyboard I’ve travelled pretty extensively and other than the odd photo or video I’ve not mentioned it at all on here. 2017 has […]
